Many thanks. I'll give it a try.

I guess what you are searching for is the LibreOffice SDK with the UNO
bridge. You can remote-control LibreOffice from Python, CSharp
(currently not working, but will be functional in 3.4 again), Java and
some other languages.

You can run LibreOffice in hidden mode or visible. From the program
code, you can access any functionality that the normal user has.

This was already available in OpenOffice as well, and you can find code
examples and howto's by searching the web for OpenOffice UNO or
LibreOffice UNO. The OpenOffice examples should in general work for
LibreOffice as well, except for some minor differences that can occur.

Greetings, Wolfgang.
