use Applescript (with Automator too). You can mimic the keyboard with
this kind of block
tell app "system events"
tell process "Openoffice"
keystroke "s" using {command down}
end tell
end tell
See here for basic starting.

My tip -- build in delays ("delay 1" will delay a second) between the
keystrokes. Sometimes it all gets out of sequence with these things.
probably by the time you've got the script working, you'll have done
about a hundred debugging steps so it dpends if you want to learn
Applescript or not, usually, with jobs like this;) (but the next time is
easier...)
