Well Java is my lauguage of choice.  I know now that part of OpenOffice
is java based.  On talking him though the install the request for a JRE
came up.

Thanks for the offer, I would like to take you up on that.  If you could
help me develop the structure walker then that would help me out.  I'm
now thinking of an import/export direct to the database - I assume that if
am parsing/generating the documents internal strucutre that I have that
level of control.

So, when are you free?
