Rony G. Flatscher is the author of ScriptProviderForooRexx, an extension to OpenOffice.org (OOo). ScriptProviderForooRexx is included in Prof. Flatscher's "BSF4ooRexx" package, which makes the programming language "Open Object Rexx (ooRexx)" available to OOo. ooRexx is an easy to learn, easy to use, yet powerful scripting language supported by the non-profit "Rexx Language Association (RexxLA)" as an Open Source project. Dr. Flatscher is a professor of Business Administration and Business Informatics (German: "Wirtschaftsinformatik") at the WU (German: "Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien") in Austria, Europe, where he can be contacted.

Many electronic publications are available that relate to using BSF4ooRexx (and its precursor, "BSF4Rexx") to interact with OpenOffice.org.

Student's Work

This web-site http://wi.wu-wien.ac.at/rgf/diplomarbeiten/ contains material related to OOo programming that may help students research basic technologies or the creation of applications. It includes many examples of OOo programming, as well as Prof. Flatscher's class material, seminar papers, and student Bachelor and Master theses. Be aware that the technologies used in the older papers may have been superseded by enhanced versions that make programming OOo even easier.
