Open and save '.doc' document without word

[pirimor]

I have to open and export to html a 'doc' document (made with Word) in a system where instead of Word is installed something like staroffice or openoffice.
Is it possible using vbscript?
If yes, how?

pirimor,

My guess is no. Quick check of my sites, and even Sun's no reference to VBScript and Staroffice. Given the long standing problems between the two, not surprised.

There is a reference to scripting on Sun's site, but no details. Pointed to a book:

http://www.sun.com/books/catalog/warner/index_Table+of+Contents.html

See lower part of the page - Chapter 12: Using Document Automation - Inserting Scripts

Also, at:

Q. Does StarOffice 6.0 have a macro recorder?

A. StarOffice 6.0 software does not have the macro recorder. One would have to write their own macros manually in StarBasic which is the StarOffice programming language.

Q. Can StarOffice 6.0 software read MS macros?

A. StarOffice can read MS macros source but does not have the ability to convert them so when you open a MS document with embedded macro it will open the document but will skip the complete macro from the document.


Not much but all I could find.

Hope it helps.
