Hello,

In continuation to my previous mails:

I found that OpenOffice already has support for csv, xls, xlsx and other
formats of tables. So use of other external python modules wouldn't be
necessary(I suggested the use of python-excel and csv python modules in my
previous mails).Now I realize that this import wizard is to convert it to
native OpenOffice database format(OpenOffice Base format).


Also about the bug fixing:
I found this bug on bugzilla:
Page count increases if a graphic file is inserted.(Bug 121546)

I tested the problem on OpenOffice and found that there is a problem with
positioning of the objects in the writer component. Once an image is
inserted it adds 4 blank pages in the document. So to solve the problem we
should make a patch which checks the number of blank pages added after
insertion of object/image and re-positioning of other objects in the
document and remove them from the document. Please help in finding the
right source files in which object positioning happens. I will be able to
fix this bug by controlling the number of white spaces added to fit the
object into the document. Please help!!!
