Notes

• This UDF currently works only with the INSTALLED version of LibreOffice. The Portable version will Not work.
• For those using AutoIt versions older than 3.3.16.1, one internal function used for “Saving as” and “Exporting” documents uses Maps, which will Not be recognized as proper syntax in AutoIt.
• LibreOffice uses Micrometers for sizing internally, all functions in this UDF, unless otherwise stated, use Micrometers. A converter has been created for converting to/from Inches, Centimeters, Printer’s Points, and Millimeters to/from Micrometers, for all sizing needs. _ConvertFromMicrometer, and _ConvertToMicrometer. Either for Writer (LOWriter) or Calc (LOCalc).
• LibreOffice uses the Long color format for all color settings, A converter has also been created for converting from/to Hex; (R)ed, (G)reen, (Blue); (H)ue, (S)aturation, and (B)rightness; and (C)yan, (M)agenta, (Y)ellow, Blac(K); to/from long color format. _ConvertColorFromLong, and _ConvertColorToLong. Either for Writer (LOWriter) or Calc (LOCalc).
