Margin Openoffice python

Question

I keep searching without any results so i would give it a try here. I'm trying to make a document for OpenOffice with Python.. I just can't find how to set the top margin of the document. Anybody has an idea how to do this?

thanks in advance!

Are you scripting openoffice, or using tools to create the XML of the ODF files? — jsbueno, May 23 '12 at 14:42

Something like this seems to work for me (in a Python macro context):

import uno

def setMargin():
    doc = XSCRIPTCONTEXT.getDocument()
    oStyle = doc.StyleFamilies.getByName("PageStyles").getByName("Default")
    oStyle.TopMargin = 5000  #Not sure what the units are
