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!!!
