Nice! I tweaked the README.md to be a little more readable.

Hey @salp, are you planning to make the 'Module' branch the default branch on github, instead of 'master' ?

I have been out of commission for a while, I'l take a look where I left off and see if I can get back to it.

Integrating Office into FreeCAD is not as simple as I first imagined, mainly because you need to start an instance of Office and then attach to that instance remotely. This leaves a lot of room for errors and things going wrong.

The main idea behind my thought was to use the Python Feature object to link the cells that need to be accessed from the Calc document and then set a couple of tasks that copy from FreeCAD to Calc and from Calc to FreeCAD. Keeping the two documents synchronized quickly becames a night mare.

Anyway, having said all that, I'll take another look.
