OpenOffice-OODoc (2.035)

This module helps to easy build OpenOffice documents, therefore the full control of all aspects of document formatting at the present is not seems possible. Perhaps this imperfection is temporary and may be explained with have in view the ODF format compexity and vagueness (of its interpretations).

OpenOffice-OODoc (2.035)

First, this module is impressive and fast, it opens up a a whole world of possibilities when it comes to creating and editing OpenOffice documents. I use this in a production environment on a web server. I modify a 'template' .odt file with all of the styles and formatting elements already created, just insert relevant bits for a report and "presto!" high quality presentations.

But for all of its power, this module is hard to 'climb into'. The ODF spec is complex and a module for dealing with that complexity is bound to be hard to work through. This module will require plenty of trial and error until you become accustomed to how things work. Anything beyond basic tasks is going to require a significant investment of time and energy to learn the documentation and methodology. This module would benefit from a more complete list of example scripts.

Very useful module. I used it to process OpenDocument files, in both ways: create and parse ones to gain the data. It is very clear written and is easy extendable. With the help of this module I created a three-tier application that uses OpenDocument files on the client side.

A very powerful module. It covers many of the things you'd want to do with OOo. When this module didn't have what I needed I created special OOo macros and executed OOo as a utility from the command line (or a script).
