User:Fossy/scripting-links
This thread is intended as a reference for sources of information about scripting.
Posts dealing with specific topics are linked. Because html page links are not available, I (and, hopefully, others) will add posts on specific areas and this introduction includes, or will include, links to posts on specific topics.
Rather than a thread of many pages containing snippets of current information here and there, I'll try to include supplementary information in existing posts and add contributors to the acknowledgements.

There is [b]a replacement macro recorder[/b] available as an extension here:

[quote="Paolo Mantovani in Jan.07"] You need also to install at least one "transformer" (currently there is only a Calc Transformer). The transformer is also an extension and is the component that actually makes the Dispatch-to-API translation of the macro code.
After the installation, you do not need to know anything else: reboot openoffice and just use the macro recorder as usual.
If you want to switch back to the "classic" macro recorder you have only to remove or disable both extensions from the extension manager dialog.[/quote]
