I came across the following point while going through older email:

I wanted to mention that OpenOffice uses Python as a scripting language.
That makes it possible to write Python programs that run as macros
in OpenOffice to do a great deal of processing.  See

    http://udk.openoffice.org/python/scriptingframework/index.html
    udk: OOo scripting framework and python

It is also possible to use Java and Javascript as scripting languages
to control OpenOffice:
