Hi John,
I have a script that I've used to print a load of OpenOffice envelope
files that might be a useful example:

#!/bin/bash

DIRECTORY="/home/mark/Envelopes/"
for file in $DIRECTORY/*
do
soffice -pt "oj1" $file
echo "printed $file"
done
echo "Done."

exit 0

Can't remember where I came across it first, but it was years ago. It
should work for any OpenOffice files.
