import com.independentsoft.office.odf.AttributedText;
import com.independentsoft.office.odf.Paragraph;
import com.independentsoft.office.odf.TextDocument;
import com.independentsoft.office.odf.styles.TextStyle;

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        try
        {
            TextDocument doc = new TextDocument();

            TextStyle redStyle = new TextStyle("T1");
            redStyle.setColor("#FF0000");
            doc.getAutomaticStyles().getStyles().add(redStyle);

            TextStyle blueStyle = new TextStyle("T2");
            blueStyle.setColor("#0000FF");
            doc.getAutomaticStyles().getStyles().add(blueStyle);

            TextStyle greenStyle = new TextStyle("T3");
            greenStyle.setColor("#008000");
            doc.getAutomaticStyles().getStyles().add(greenStyle);

            AttributedText redSpan = new AttributedText();
            redSpan.setStyle("T1");
            redSpan.add("red");

            AttributedText blueSpan = new AttributedText();
            blueSpan.setStyle("T2");
            blueSpan.add("blue");

            AttributedText greenSpan = new AttributedText();
            greenSpan.setStyle("T3");
            greenSpan.add("green");

            Paragraph p1 = new Paragraph();
            p1.add("Text in ");
            p1.add(redSpan);
            p1.add(", ");
            p1.add(blueSpan);
            p1.add(", and ");
            p1.add(greenSpan);
            p1.add(".");
            doc.getBody().add(p1);

            doc.save("c:\\test\\output.odt", true);
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
