This section assumes that you have a macro that you want to use, which you may have found in a book or on the internet. The first step in learning macro programming is to find and use existing macros.

However, an in-depth discussion of how to use these languages for scripting is beyond the scope of this chapter.

Some introductory examples are included for the BeanShell, JavaScript, and Python scripting languages. This chapter provides an overview of LibreOffice’s macro facilities, mostly focused on its default macro scripting language, LibreOffice Basic. The most powerful macros in LibreOffice are created by writing code using one of the four supported scripting languages (LibreOffice Basic, Python, JavaScript, and BeanShell). Such macros can be edited and enhanced after recording using the built-in LibreOffice Basic Integrated Development Environment (IDE). LibreOffice saves recorded macros using the open source LibreOffice Basic scripting language, which is an implementation of the well-known BASIC programming language. The simplest way to create a macro is to record a series of actions through LibreOffice’s user interface. Macros are very useful when you have to repeat the same task in the same way. You can use macros to automate both simple and complex tasks. An example of a simple macro is one that enters your address into an open document. For a detailed list, see the application Help.Ĭontrol+click or right-click depending on computer setupĪ macro is a set of commands or keystrokes that are stored for later use. The table below gives some common substitutions for the instructions in this document. Some keystrokes and menu items are different on macOS from those used in Windows and Linux. Other versions of LibreOffice may differ in appearance and functionality.
