Learning OpenOffice.org Basic (OOo Basic) can be a bit like learning a foreign language. If you have the time and ambition to communicate fluently, you can spend months or even years studying grammar and expanding your vocabulary. But sometimes you just need some basic skills to get you through daily situations. In this case, a crash course that introduces you to some basic principles and building blocks of the language would do just fine. The same is true for OOo Basic – if you need to write a simple macro that makes your daily computing life a bit easier, you don’t have to spend time reading about methods, routines, and object properties. What you need is some working examples and an explanation of how they work. And if you are looking for something like that, then this book is for you.
