Template:DevGuide Template:Title override This chapter shows you the first steps when using the OpenOffice.org API. Following these steps is essential to understand and use the chapters about OpenOffice.org documents such as Text, Spreadsheets, and Drawings and Presentations. After you have successfully done the first steps, you can go directly to the other chapters of this manual. The focus of the first steps will be Java, but other languages are covered as well. If you want to use OpenOffice.org Basic afterwards, please refer to the chapters [CHAPTER:BasicAndDialogs.FirstSteps] and [CHAPTER:ProfUNO.LangBind.Basic]. The usage of C++ is described in [CHAPTER:ProfUNO.LangBind.Cpp].
