Will ole2.create_object work with Open Office Document?

Question

Dear All,
Using ole2 package, we have already did a small application which will interact to Microsoft Excel. Now there is a business need to work with Sun's Open office document.
We used to create a excel object like OLE2.CREATE_OBJ ('Excel.Application');
Is there any other way of invoking/creating a open office spread sheet using ole2 package. Or any other way ?
Regards,

Dear Developer;
Try this peace of code
PROCEDURE exec_macro
IS
myapplication ole2.obj_type;
mydocuments ole2.obj_type;
mydocument ole2.obj_type;
args ole2.list_type;
Begin
myapplication := ole2.create_obj ('Word.Application');
ole2.set_property (myapplication, 'Visible', 0);
mydocuments := ole2.get_obj_property (myapplication, 'Documents');
args := ole2.create_arglist;
ole2.add_arg (args, PC$FileName);
mydocument := ole2.invoke_obj (mydocuments, 'Open', args);
oe2.destroy_arglist (args);
args := ole2.create_arglist;
-- invoke the PrintPdf MSWorld macro
ole2.add_arg (args, 'PrintPdf');
ole2.invoke (myapplication, 'Run', args);
ole2.destroy_arglist (args);
ole2.invoke(myapplication,'Quit');
ole2.Release_obj (mydocument);
ole2.Release_obj (mydocuments);
ole2.Release_obj (myapplication);
End;
Hope it works coz i did not try it but i try excel.application.
