<source>A macro is a saved sequence of commands that are stored for later use. An example of a simple macro is one that “types” your address. The LibreOffice macro language is very flexible, allowing automation of both simple and complex tasks. Macros are very useful when you have to repeat the same task in the same way over and over again.</source>

<trans-unit xml:space="preserve" id="office:document-content[0]/office:body[0]/office:text[0]/text:p[5]">
<source>LibreOffice macros are usually written in a language called <x id="74" xid="office:document-content[0]/office:body[0]/office:text[0]/text:p[5]/text:alphabetical-index-mark[0]"/>LibreOffice Basic, sometimes abbreviated to <x id="75" xid="office:document-content[0]/office:body[0]/office:text[0]/text:p[5]/text:alphabetical-index-mark-start[0]"/>Basic<x id="76" xid="office:document-content[0]/office:body[0]/office:text[0]/text:p[5]/text:alphabetical-index-mark-end[0]"/>. Although you can learn Basic and write macros, there is a steep learning curve to writing macros from scratch. The usual methods for a beginner are to use macros that someone else has written or use the built-in macro recorder, which records keystrokes and saves them for use.</source>

<source>Most tasks in LibreOffice are accomplished by “dispatching a command” (sending a command), which is intercepted and used.

A variable of type <g id="214">array</g> allows a single variable to contain multiple values, similar to storing multiple pages in a single book. Values in an array are usually numbered starting from zero. The number in the parentheses indicates the highest usable number to access a storage location.
