openoffice template startup get directory macro

I like to start a openoffice template (.ott) via my command prompt. Once my template.ott has opened it is called Untitled 1.odt

What I need is way to get the location of the template.ott (the path to the directory of the template that made Untitled 1.odt). I want to use that path in a macro in Untitled 1.odt

The question summarized: So when I have a macro in Untitled 1.odt, how do I get the location of the template.ott?

I use OpenOffice Writer.

EDIT: I write macros in Openoffice Basic.

Solution

  • From Listing 5.47 of Andrew Pitonyak's macro document:

    Sub GetTemplatePath
    Dim oDocProps
    oDocProps = ThisComponent.getDocumentProperties()
    MsgBox "TemplateURL " & oDocProps.TemplateURL
End Sub
