Hi, As a follow-up to this thread, Piet (in a different thread: "Re: How many degrees of headlessness do we need? [and LibreOffice crash]") posted this snipped of code to open a Writer document only:
------------------------------------------------------------------------ textdoc = ServiceManager.createInstance("com.sun.star.text.TextDocument") loadURL = systemPathToFileUrl(realpath("test.odt")) inProps = (PropertyValue("URL", -1, loadURL, 0), PropertyValue("FilterName", -1, "writer8", 0)) textdoc.load(inProps) print(textdoc.Text.String) textdoc.close(True) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ While I couldn't use this due to a crash of createInstance(), it looks to me as if this code would be an alternative to what we've discussed in this thread. I assume that loading, say, a Calc or an image would fail here?
