OpenOffice.org Macros Explained Review by LinuxUser
Not much to choose from
If you want to program OOo macros, then this is about the only book on the market. OOo macro programming is definitely not trivial, therefore, neither is this book. It is big. There are a lot of code snippets and examples, but you will still probably need to go the Macros and API section of the OOo online forum for help when it actually comes time to write your macro(s).
I found the available downloadable PDF to be invaluable when finding specific examples in the book that dealt with a specific call or method. I could search that for a term, and find where is was used in a code example in the printed book. Instructions on downloading the PDF are in the book.
Though the PDF is supposed to be an update of the book, I found no differences.
Documentation for open source products is universally poor, so one NEEDS a book like this. It is value for the money spent.
