Thanks for the response,

Your suggestion is actually OK,
however, I have modified some of the codes so as to format excel file
in Custom Cell Ranges, which I wanted to happen in OpenOffice.org as well

so I would like to know what would be the replacement of this:

oExcel := new oleAutoclient("excel.application")
in OpenOffice.org

and this
oWorkBook = oExcel.workbooks.add()

oExcel.Range("A1:B10").Select()
         // and merge them for our title area

         //place some border...
         with( oExcel.Selection.Borders )
            LineStyle := xlContinuous
            Weight := xlMedium
            ColorIndex := xlAutomatic
         endwith

         with ( oExcel.Selection )            
            font.name := "Arial"
            font.size := 9
            font.bold := true
            Interior.ColorIndex := 42
            Font.ColorIndex := 51 // dark green
         endwith

and some others:


Thanks for the initiative..

God Bless!
