I am trying this exact thing now (2 years after this original posting). I would like to have PB use OLE to insert values in OpenOffice or LibreOffice word processor in bookmarks (and hopefully cells in tables).

Is there any information you can share about such calls? How to open a Libre template, find and insert text into a bookmark? 

Thank you,

Doug

Thanks everyone for your responses. Most appreciated.  I will give Mark's response a crack. We had being using OLE to word to populate a lengthy form ( Word document ) using bookmarks in the document.  Going to try the same with LibreOfficeWriter.

The backstory to this is that our PB application was being used on our customer's site, where they had MS Office installed on their application server. We then moved them to our cloud environment, where, for reasons of cost, we do not have MS Office Installed and have Libre Office instead. 

Greetings, David -

You probably should be asking the people responsible for LibreOffice if they support connection to Writer via OLE. This will possible only if LibreOffice Writer provides an OLE Server. Since OLE is a Windows-specific technology, I would be surprised if an OLE Server is available... but, hey, sometimes I'm surprised!
