DESCRIPTION

       OpenOffice.org is a fully featured office suite for the daily use with all features you would normally expect in a office suite.

       This script runs OpenOffice with the arguments <args> given on the command line.

       There are also some wrapper scripts in /usr/bin which run the wanted OpenOffice.org module.

OPTIONS

       filename...   Files  to	operate on. Opening them is the default behavior, which can be influenced by command line arguments. -p will print
       the files instead.

       -accept=accept-string
	      Notifies the OpenOffice.org software that upon the creation of "UNO Acceptor Threads", a "UNO Accept String" will be used.

       -base  Starts with the database wizard.

       -calc  Starts with an empty Calc document.

       -display display
	      This option specifies the X server to contact; see X(7)

       -draw  Starts with an empty Draw document.

       -global
	      Starts with an empty Global document.

       -headless
	      Starts in "headless mode", which allows using the application without user interface.

	      This special mode can be used when the application is controlled by external clients via the API.

       -help|-h|-?
	      Lists the available OOo-native command line parameters to the console.

       -impress
	      Starts with an empty Impress document.

       -invisible
	      Starts in invisible mode.

	      Neither the start-up logo nor the initial program window will be visible.  However, the OpenOffice.org software  can  be	controlled
	      and documents and dialogs opened via the API.

	      When  the  OpenOffice.org software has been started with this parameter, it can only be ended using the taskmanager (Windows) or the
	      kill command (UNIX based systems).

	      It cannot be used in conjunction with -quickstart.

       -math  Starts with an empty Math document.

       -minimized
	      Keep the splash screen minimized.

       -n filename
	      Creates a new document using filename as a template.

       -nodefault
	      Starts the application without any window opened for the first time.  A window appears if you start the office next time.

	      It is used together with the option -nologo by quickstarters. Note that the option -quickstart has not been longer  supported  since
	      OpenOffice.org 2.0.0.

       -nolockcheck
	      Disables the check for remote instances using the installation.

       -nologo
	      Disables the splash screen at program start.

       -norestore
	      Disables restart and file recovery after a system crash. It is possible OOo will try to restore a file it keeps crashing on, if that
	      happens -norestore is the only way to start OOo.

       -o filename
	      Opens filename for editing, even if it is a template.

       -p filename...
	      Prints the given files to the default printer and ends. The splash screen does not appear.

	      If the file name contains spaces, then it must be enclosed in quotation marks.

       -pt printername filename...
	      Prints the given files to the printer printername and ends. The splash screen does not appear.

	      If the file name contains spaces, then it must be enclosed in quotation marks.

       -show presentation
	      Starts with the given Impress file and starts the presentation. Enters edit mode after the presentation.

       -unaccept=accept-string
	      Closes an acceptor that was created with -accept option.

	      Use -unaccept=all to close all open acceptors.

       -terminate_after_init
	      The office terminates after it registers some UNO services. The office doesn't show the intro bitmap during startup.

       -view filename
	      Creates a temporary copy of the given file and opens it read-only.

       -web   Starts with an empty HTML document.

       -writer
	      Starts with an empty Writer document.
