Failing to anticipate the popularity of macros to automate OpenOffice, the existing developer's documentation emphasizes control through other languages. This book provides a sufficient introduction to macro programming in OpenOffice to allow you to create your own macros and have a basic understanding of the underlying paradigm.

This book provides an introduction to the creation and management of macros in OpenOffice. Numerous examples and explanations demonstrate proper techniques and discuss known problems and solutions.
