Description chrisbitmead 2004-06-07 04:05:11 UTC 
I have some Java code which calls the OpenOffice APIs to make it load files.
This works fine with MS-Word, Excel and other file types. However when it comes
to SYLK spreadsheet files (.slk files), it doesn't work, and OpenOffice thinks
that it is a text file.

Now, OpenOffice can open these files when a user manually selects Open File, so
I don't understand why it doesn't from Java code, when OOo detects many other
file types correctly when called from Java.

Hi,

is it possible that you do not set the correct filter for that type of document ?

SLK is not tied to OOo Calc, so it opens as text as it is a text based document
format.

Questions about how to achieve your goals maybe sent to the mailing lists
especially dev@api...

No response, so I assume my guess was right.

So I close this one. Feel free to re-open this Issue if you have some more
information on how you call the filter.
