Well, the thing is, that for the NeÜ german bible the author makes  
available all books in seperate files in .doc format.
Instead of opening each file and export to XHTML or to ODT manually I  
was looking for a way to automate this.
Using UNO you can basically remote control OO and it seems to work.
