Hi guys: I have the following problem:
In the organization I work for, we have several standard formats which we have to write for each project we manage (for example: reports). These are MS-Word documents, for which I have created a database and several forms to store this information. The problem is that it is very time consuming to insert manually each one of this documents. I think the solution is to create a OpenOffice Template for the document, with specific tags, to recover and export the file "contents.xml" (which is part of the *.sxw zip file) 'automagically' to the MySql database inserting each part of the XML to their specific field in the database. So the users only have to write the document, upload the file and the server does the job. The questions are: a) Is it possible to do that? Somebody has tried something like that?. b) What do you think about the idea? Could it be too complicated? Am I in the wrong path?. I will appreciate any clue or comment about these questions. Thanks a lot and best regards. Alvaro.
