Notes

• This UDF currently works only with the INSTALLED version of LibreOffice. The Portable version will Not work.
• The ability to Automate LibreOffice Portable (and OpenOffice) has been added, and Should work correctly. It currently adds some temporary Registry entries however. See _LO_InitializePortable.
• For those using AutoIt versions older than 3.3.16.1, some functions use Maps, which will Not be recognized as proper syntax in the older AutoIt versions.
• LibreOffice uses Hundredths of a Millimeter (100th MM) for sizing internally, all functions in this UDF, unless otherwise stated, use these units. A converter has been created for converting Inches, Centimeters, Printer’s Points, and Millimeters to/from 100th MMs, for all sizing needs. _LO_UnitConvert.
• LibreOffice uses RGB color value as a long integer 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 integer RGB color value. _LO_ConvertColorFromLong, and _LO_ConvertColorToLong.
