Remote API: language selection, document creation, etc.

Remote API: language selection, document creation, etc.

Hello,

I've been searching the forums for clues on how to do this, but no luck so far:


1) Using the REMOTE API for Writer, is it possible to select the language for the Zoho interface? A "lang" parameter is apparently supported in the Sheet Remote API, but doesn't appear to be either documented or supported in the Writer Remote API..


2) According to the documentation on the Remote API for Writer, the format field should contain one of the supported three-letters extensions preceded by a dot (.doc, .rtf, .txt, ...). In the Sheet and Show Remote API documentations however, the same field requires the extension *without* the leading dot. For the sake of consistency accross APIs, is it possible to either include *or* exclude the dot in all three APIs?


3) As far as I can see, the Writer Remote API is designed for editing existing documents. Is there a way of having Writer create a blank document, but still use the Remote API so that the newly-created document is saved back through the Remote API? In other words, can we invoke Writer using the Remote API but without the "url" field in the normal form submit, so that it will *create* a new blank document instead of trying to fetch an existing one, but then will save it normally through the saveurl?


4) I have successfuly used the Writer Remote API to edit and save an existing Word document (.doc). However, I always get an error #1840 from the API when attempting to edit a .txt file. What's error 1840?

Thank you!
