Best way to create a form in OpenOffice (or sth else?)

I'm looking for a way to script an OpenOffice document so it would:

  • have only parts editable
  • do some magic with saving it (i'd like to save it into some generated from the entered content name)
  • be reasonably easy to implement

I've looked into this question: What is the (single) best online source for learning OpenOffice.org scripting API

and it seems helpful, however I can't find other things to be easily done.

I'd be grateful for help in this matter.

Solution

  • Actually there is something that would suffice without a lot of hassle. This would be XForms, described here:

    http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Writer_Guide/Using_Forms_in_Writer

    This does pretty much anything I assumed it should.
