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. In Calc, all Fields related functions use Maps.
• 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).
