The goal of this section is to give a brief overview of those mechanisms in the OpenOffice.org API, which are common to all document types. The three main application areas of OpenOffice.org are text, tables and drawing shapes. The point is: texts, tables and drawing shapes can occur in all three document types, no matter if you are dealing with a Writer, Calc or Draw/Impress file, but they are treated in the same manner everywhere. When you master the common mechanisms, you will be able to insert and use texts, tables and drawings in all document types.
