Tutorial: How to create OpenOffice.org macros

OOo provides two ways to set up macros. The first is to record a macro, where you perform the desired action with OOo "watching." (The ability to record macros was added in OpenOffice.org 1.1. Earlier versions have no macro recorder.) The second choice is to write it yourself using the OpenOffice.org Basic language. Once you define a macro either way, you can assign a keystroke to it and/or put it on a toolbar to make it instantly available.
