Fwd: PyUNO in OpenOffice.org1.1rc

[Eric Olson]

I actually tried that out a month or two ago with the beta and with some 
environment tweaking was able to open OpenOffice's impress/powerpoint 
through the StarOffice java api.  I did have a hard time finding 
information about what api was available (and found notes that it would be 
difficult to find) to manipulate the presentation, but I 
could look into it more.
