I haven't been able to get back to this for a while.

So I have to ask why one would say this?  In many cases the purpose of doing something from a macro 
inside LibreOffice is to have an integrated solution so one doesn't depend on having to run 
external programs.

I've been looking into this and this is quite possible - granted, it took me about 6-8 hours to 
find all the details, but it's possible.  I'll be posting a sample within the next few days.

It just seems to me saying it's better to do something else is a "can't do" attitude that defeats 
much of what one would want to do with macros.
