Just for the record, the Hanya example I pointed to works on OpenOffice 4.5.0 
of a few days ago - I have no reason to doubt it will work on most if not all 
versions of OpenOffice.  If tags of form $(Environment_variable) such as 
$(LANG), $(USER), $(PAPERSIZE) [running on linux -not tested on Windows or Mac] 
into the sample file, these can be replaced by the appropriate value by the 
Smart tag mechanisms.
