    This guide provides an introduction to programming with LibreOffice Basic.
    To get the most out of this book, you should be familiar with other
    programming languages. Extensive examples are provided to help you quickly
    develop your own LibreOffice Basic programs.

    This guide divides information about LibreOffice administration into
    several chapters. The first three chapters introduce you to LibreOffice
    Basic:

    These chapters provide an overview of LibreOffice Basic and should be read
    by anyone who intends to write LibreOffice Basic programs. The remaining
    chapters describe the individual components of the LibreOffice API in more
    detail and can be read selectively as required:

    # Working with Documents
    # Text Documents
    # Spreadsheet Documents
    # Drawings and Presentations
    # Charts (Diagrams)
    # Databases
    # Dialogs
