It's possible. You must setup. OpenOffice, OpenOffice SDK, when the SDK is installed, you must run setsdkenv_windows.bat in the SDK folder, then it will require another components, you must install just 3 or 4 from here http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.html.

The sample for CALC could be in a path like C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 3\Basis\sdk\examples\CLI\CSharp\Spreadsheet

The samples for Writer are just online, just now I need the samples for Impress, but the automation with the automation for CALC is 10/10

Short answer no,

Word is not part of Open Office, so how would that work?

You can however automate Writer but, it has a different model so much of you code would have to be re-written.

If Open Office were to expose a compatible API I think that would raise some interesting Copyright and Intellectual Property issues but, I'm no lawyer. However, I'm not extolling the benefits of either product or API, they are just different.
