[Mono-dev] Question about OpenOffice and Mono

There are a few factors:

        * Mono/OpenOffice integration used to work on a specific version
        of 
          OpenOffice and Mono.
        
          We are currently investigating what made it stop working, and
        we
          do not know what it is.
        
        * Documentation was not available the last time I checked, but
        it
          might just be the standard UNO documentation that is part of  
          OpenOffice. 
        
          Worst case scenario, you can use a combination of the sample 
          programs that come with OpenOffice/Mono (maybe Michael can
          put this up in a web site reachable by us) and the `monop'
        tool.
