Hi!

First of all: be sure that you're opened template is not read-only ;o)

I replaced a string the following way:

1) get a XReplaceable interface for the component (document). It looks like this:

XReplaceable xRepl = (XReplaceable) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XReplaceable.class, component);

2) get a replace descriptor:

XReplaceDescriptor xReplDes = xRepl.createReplaceDescriptor();

3) set the search string (the string that you want to replace):

xReplDes.setSearchString(searchStr);

4) set the replace string (the string with which you want to replace):

xReplDes.setReplaceString(replStr);

5) replace ...

xRepl.replaceAll(replDes);

this will replace ALL occurences of the search string, I don't remember, but I think there
should be other methods that replace only single occurences (just look up the
XReplaceable interface in the OO API)

Hope that helps ...
