Similar to
o.worddoc = createobject("word95","document")
????
Do to that SO would have to have 'exposed' methods and properties via OLE or something like active X.
As far as I know, SO has OLE within itself only. I can embed a spreadsheet in a wp document inside SO.
To explore that possibility you might want to study the prewritten StarBasic scripts that come with SO. You can edit them by using their name, in lower case, when asked for a password. If you find out how, pass the info back to us here at UT.Linux!!!
Good Luck!
