<p>The SDK provides a rich set of examples in different programming
languages (Java, C++, Apache OpenOffice %PRODUCT_RELEASE% Basic, OLE) to illustrate the use
of the API and demonstrate how to benefit from the included word
processor, spreadsheet, presentation software, graphics program and
database of Apache OpenOffice %PRODUCT_RELEASE%.<br>
Some fo the examples need a running office instance listening on a
port. If this is necessary you will get further information in the
makefiles.</p>
<p>Every makefile contains at least one run target to execute an
running example, please see the makefile output in the different
example directories. Some of the examples which create a component have
no run target. In these cases a document is provided which instantiates
and runs the component (see the makefile output). Also the Basic
examples provide documents which use and shows the implemented
functionality.</p>

to the developer. The methods, interfaces, services and attributes are
represented in a predictable tree. If the attributes contained in an
object are to be examined, the appropriate nodes in the tree can be
expanded with the help of the mouse. For each non primitive object, five
categories are offered to the user, as long as those are available with
that object. The Object Inspector is currently available as a NetBeans project
only because of major code changes. Please see the <a href="http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Object_Inspector" title="link to the Object Inspector project page in the wiki">project page</a> for further details.</td>

<td class="cell80"> To change the style used for certain words, you can
start with the following example. This code searches for the regular
expression <code>the[a-z]</code>, which stands for the text portion the
followed by exactly one lowercase letter. All occurrences of these four
letters are then changed to bold characters. The same happens in the next
part of the program, this time changing the appearance of
<code>all[a-z]</code> to italic. In order for this example to work, you
must execute it from an open text document.</td>

<td class="cell80">If you regularly receive documents from other people
for editing, you might want to make sure that certain words are always
written the same. The next example illustrates this by forcing certain
words to be spelled in American English.<br>
In order for this example to work, you must execute it from an open text
document. For a real world application, it is a good idea to read the
words from an external file.</td>

<td class="cell20"><a href="basic/text/modifying_text_automatically/" title="link to the source directory of the Apache OpenOffice %PRODUCT_RELEASE% Basic text/modifying_text_automatically examples">Using Regular Expressions</a></td>
<td class="cell80">Another application of automatic text modification is
related to stylistic questions. Suppose your company&#146;s policy is to
avoid the use of certain words. You want to replace these words, but you
cannot do that automatically because you have to find the appropriate
replacement, which depends on the context. So instead of deleting or
replacing the offending words automatically, you change their color to
make them stand out during a subsequent manual review process.<br>
The following example handles two kinds of unwanted wordings: those
which are absolutely forbidden and must be replaced by something else,
and those which are considered bad style. A subroutine is responsible
for the changes. It can be used to make all words in a list appear in a
certain color in the text document. To keep the lists short, we use
regular expressions which provide for the variants of the words
(plural, adjective etc.).</td>

<td class="cell80">
<p>The next example does something very similar. This time, however, we
do not change the color of the words but insert a bookmark at each of
them. You can thus use the StarOffice navigator to jump directly from
word to word. Bookmarks must first be created using
<code>createInstance()</code>. They are then inserted with
<code>insertTextContent()</code> at the current text range.</p>
<p>The main difference to the preceding example is the For loop in
<code>markList()</code>. Instead of changing the color of the current
word, it creates a new bookmark, oBookmark, whose name is the current
word with an integer appended. It then inserts this bookmark at the
word.</td>

<td class="cell80">Most of the members of the European Union will abandon
their old currency in favor of the new Euro in 2001. This requires
modifications to all programs using the old currencies. Since the exchange
rates for the old currencies have been fixed at the end of 1999, one can
already convert old data. The following program does this for all values
in a table that are formatted with the currency string DM.</td>

companies, you can open up your browser every day, go to a search engine,
look up the quote and copy it by hand into a table. Or you can use a
program that does all this automatically. The following example relies on
the sheet module. It uses URLs to obtain the current stock quotes. The
quotes are displayed in sheets, one for each company. We show a line
diagram and the numerical values for this company on every sheet. The
functionality is hidden in the three subroutines <code>GetValue()</code>,
<code>UpdateValue()</code>, and <code>UpdateChart()</code>.</td>

<td class="cell80">The ActiveX control shows an example of access to UNO
through COM technology. It requires a properly installed StarOffice
version 6.0 or OpenOffice 1.0 or newer. This is a Lite ActiveX control
so it can be used only in containers that allow the use of such controls.
It can be activated with an &lt;OBJECT&gt; tag from a html-page to embed
a document. Without any parameters a new writer document will be opened
for editing. For more details please see the <a href="OLE/activex/README.txt" title="link to the README file of the activex example">README</a>.<br>
Note: This example works only under windows and if you don't use the MS
.Net C++ compiler please check the makefile and take notice of the
