Command line arguments

The general command line of OpenOffice.org is defined as:
Usage: soffice[.exe] [options] [documents]

Command Purpose
-accept=<accept-string> Specify an UNO connect-string to create an UNO acceptor through which other programs can connect to access the API.

-calc Creates a new spredsheet document.
-display <display> Specifies X-display to use in Unix/X11 versions.
-draw Creates a new drawing document.
-global Creates a new global text document.
-headless Suppresses any modal dialog so OpenOffice.org can run without user interaction. This is NOT designed to run OOo as a "background" process. The Office still starts and open document views. It's the task of a developer to use the API correctly to assure that no UI is shown.

-impress Creates a new presentation document.
