This KWord python script uses Kross and PyUNO to optional import content from any by OpenOffice.org supported fileformat.

We are using the PyUNO module to access OpenOffice.org. For this an optional hidden OpenOffice.org instance need to be started. Then the script connects as client to this OpenOffice.org server instance and controls it.

If the script got executed and the connecting to the server failed, then it will startup such a hidden OpenOffice.org server instance and shuts it down again once the work is done again.
