COM interop
I have an application that uses Word as a printing engine for standardized forms. The mechanism used to start Word and print the documents is COM. Is there way to invoke Writer instead?
OOo 2.3.X on Ms Windows XP

Re: COM interop
Hi,
Writer (or Calc, etc) can be used through COM. And printing a document from it is of course possible.
You may have difficulties with some languages which do not provide a correct interface to COM.
For a general view, see the beginning of this old thread : Using COM for OOo with different language
You may also use these open source tools :
Delphi OOo tool
VBx OOo tools (for VBA, VB.NET, VB6)
