Command line arguments
OpenOffice.org supports a number of command line arguments to open file or print files and to serve special needs. The following article wants to give an overview about the supported 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. |
-base | Creates a new database document. |
-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. |
-help/-h/-? | Shows a small message box with information about the arguments (Windows) or outputs it to stdout. |
-helpbase | Opens the OOo help application and shows the Base specific help chapter. |
-helpbasic | Opens the OOo help application and shows the Basic specific help chapter. |
-helpcalc | Opens the OOo help application and shows the Calc specific help chapter. |
-helpdraw | Opens the OOo help application and shows the Draw specific help chapter. |
-helpimpress | Opens the OOo help application and shows the Impress specific help chapter. |
-helpmath | Opens the OOo help application and shows the Math specific help chapter. |
-helpwriter | Opens the OOo help application and shows the Writer specific help chapter. |
-impress | Creates a new presentation document. |
-invisible | Initially no start up screen, no default document and UI is shown. It's possible to show documents via API. This option is not designed to use OOo as a "background" process. The API developer has to make sure that the views are opened non-visible. |
-language=<iso language code> | Preset a user interface language. The Office uses a fallback mechanism if the provided language is not available. |
-math | Creates a new formula document. |
-minimized | keeps start up bitmap minimized |
-n | Always open documents as new files (use as templates). |
-nodefault | Don't start with an empty document. |
-nofirststartwizard | Don't show the first start wizard on the first start. A needed default user configuration is copied without user interaction. |
-nolockcheck | Don't check for remote instances using a .lock file in the user folder. |
-nologo | Don't show the splash screen. |
-norestore | Suppress restart/restore after a fatal error. |
-o | Opens a document regardless whether they are templates or not. |
-p <documents...> | Print the specified documents on the default printer. |
-plugin | Make OOo aware that it's embedded in a browser. DEPRECATED |
-psn | (only MacOS X) |
-pt <printer> <documents...> | Print the specified documents on the specified printer. |
-portal | DEPRECATED and not supported anymore. Will be removed in future versions. |
-quickstart | Start the quickstart service (only available on Windows and OS/2 platform). |
-quickstart=no | Disable quickstart service. |
-show <presentation> | Open the specified presentation and start it immediately. |
-terminate_after_init | The Office terminates after the initialization phase automatically. |
-unaccept=<accept-string> | Close an acceptor that was created with -accept=<accept-string>. Use -unaccept=all to close all open acceptors. |
-userid=<path to user configuration> | Start the Office using the provided user installation folder. DEPRECATED |
-view <documents...> | Open the specified documents in viewer-(readonly-)mode. |
-web | Creates a new HTML document. |
