api - Create slideshow from text

Question

I would like to read text from 3 text paragraphs & use the text to create a slideshow of 3 slides - each with a paragraph programatically.

Is it possible? Do I need to use openoffice, libreoffice or something else?

I have googled a lot, but could not find any answer. Hence, posting the question on SO.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Openoffice has a bridge called Uno which can be used from python, java (and probably more), i.e. you can manipulate openoffice documents from an external program, it's however non-trivial to use it.

Another possibility is to use OpenOffice.org BASIC.
