How to iterate through all paragraphs in OpenOffice Writer document and output text. I have Java examples, but don't know how to convert code to C#. Java example could be found here: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/API/Samples/Java/Writer/TextDocumentStructure

My C# code:

InitOpenOfficeEnvironment();
XMultiServiceFactory multiServiceFactory = connect();
XComponentLoader componentLoader =           
    XComponentLoader)multiServiceFactory.createInstance("com.sun.star.frame.Desktop"); 

//set the property
PropertyValue[] propertyValue = new PropertyValue[1];
PropertyValue aProperty = new PropertyValue();
aProperty.Name = "Hidden";
aProperty.Value = new uno.Any(false);
propertyValue[0] = aProperty;

XComponent xComponent =
        componentLoader.loadComponentFromURL(
            @"file:///C:/code/test3.doc", 
            "_blank", 0, propertyValue);

XEnumerationAccess xEnumerationAccess = (XEnumerationAccess)xComponent;
XEnumeration xParagraphEnumeration = xEnumerationAccess.createEnumeration();

while ( xParagraphEnumeration.hasMoreElements() ) 
{
    // ???
    // The problem is here nextElement() returns uno.Any but
    // I some how should get XTextContent????
    uno.Any textElement = xParagraphEnumeration.nextElement();

    // create another enumeration to get all text portions of 
    //the paragraph
    XEnumeration xParaEnumerationAccess = textElement.createEnumeration();

    //step 3  Through the Text portions Enumeration, 
    //get interface to each individual text portion
}

xComponent.dispose();
xComponent = null;
