All,
I'm wondering whether the following is possible:
1. Data is selected from MySQL Database
2. Data is written to an XML file in the correct format for a .sxw
3. XML file is zipped into an sxw file
4. OOo converts the file to a .doc
5. The .doc is displayed on the screen (All users are running
windows/office XP)
The one I'm gonna have real issues with is step 4. I need to know if
it's possible to run OOo on a headless server (Linux flavour as yet
unknown...), preferably without installing X, and have OOo convert the
.sxw to the .doc without actually displaying anything.
Thoughts please... :D
Matt
