Thanks a lot for your hints! I am eagerly waiting (although not holding my
breath) when you will make the missing parts to make it useful even for
this. And no, I wouldn't put macros into the document -- it seems to ask
for a misuse (although, OOo allows it, doesn't it -- how to make KWord
compatible with OOo 2.* format when not supporting embedded macros?). I
liked the solution how it is done in Kate
<http://www.kde.nl/doc/kate-scripting/?> (the page is in Dutch, but even I
was able to decipher it) -- the scripts are in a special directory with
their .desktop files (see attached).

I think it may be usefull, when you need full VBA replacement (dialog boxes
etc.), but it is probably useless for this kind of small scripts. Correct
me, anybody, if I am wrong.

Best,

Matej
