That's all taking up a lot of time, though I'm willing to learn..
If there's a way to easily learn how to create something like that, I'd do it.
I have time,however not enough time and know how to learn python. (tried it before,and had to give up on it).
Doing macro's in office was way easier.

Well I was looking at a plug in so that we would be able to submit it to the Extension libarary. Also plugins have other advantages from a design stand point.
I think with your experience it would be best if we use macros and templates much like BookCreator for Word is designed.
Okay so you get to decide what language to use. BASIC or JavaScript.

btw word uses visual basic for applications (VBA) which is a cut down version of visual basic - which we fondly use to call a poor mans version of c back in the day. Your not stuck to just the win32 api, just declare the externals (api/dll) in the header section and you can use virtually any library.

OOo does support BASIC nativley. So it's not the syntax that cannot be reused its the Word libraries that do not exist in OOo.
