Thanks Piet!  There is no way that I can use

  # Create an empty Writer document.
  document = desktop.loadComponentFromURL("private:factory/swriter", "_blank", 0, ())
  document.load( (propVal,) )

and pass a document into the load() method?  That wouldn't constrain
myself to Writer?

Cheers,
Jens
