[Solved] Silent macro installation
Posted: Thu Jan 31, 2008 10:30 am
Hello everybody,
I'm doing my thesis, a user migration tool from Windows to Linux. Part of the thesis involves getting a bunch of Office .doc files and converting them to odt. I have the macro which does this, and I even know how to invoke the macro invisibly, so a batch conversion of doc files is possible.
The issue I have is with installing the macro. Is there a way this can be done programmatically without having to instruct the user on how to open openoffice and install the macro manually?
Perhaps I can just copy the macro somewhere or invoke a silent macro installation from within OOO? FYI, the macro is this: http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2006/01/11/fro ... ffice.html
Would appreciate your help!
