Is that feasible? Yes it's feasible. I can have a look, because it could be an interesting demonstration of the Emacs Xwidget branch as well. Here is how the similar idea works in Inkmacs(Emacs + Inkskape): - Emacs communicates with Inkskape using a DBus channel - Emacs sends dbus commands to update text objects in Inkskape. Inkskape immediately redraws its display when it receives the dbus commands It would be possible to implement this, if LibreOffice has the same sort of feature that Inkskape has. But does it? The next question is whether this would work fast enough in LibreOffice. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
