- | **In November of 2011, Ronnie put out a call for someone willing to write a series of articles on OpenOffice.org. OpenOffice.org was, at the time, the default office suite for Ubuntu. I had been using Ubuntu for only about a year, but I had used OpenOffice.org for years, as far back as when it was StarOffice. I put my name in the hat and was assigned the job of penning the series. | + | **In November of 2011, Ronnie put out a call for someone willing to Avant que son crâne d’œuf de rédacteur en chef ne perde la boulewrite |

I may have used OpenOffice.org for years, and StarOffice before that, but I soon discovered I knew very little about the suite. I was familiar with the pieces of the suite, but my experience was limited to Writer and Calc. I decided to work my way through the basics of each of the suite modules starting with Writer. Documentation became the key to my success. I started with the old OpenOffice.org documents, but as the Document Foundation started making changes and improvements to the programs, existing documents quickly became outdated. Experimentation became my second key. I learned to test everything. The document might say it works this way, but did it actually work that way in the current version? Sometimes, no.

**The biggest challenge for me was macro scripts. At the time I was writing about them, there was little official documentation on the subject. I googled, read, and followed links. I have studied many programming languages in my days, COBOL, Pascal, C, Visual Basic, Python, C++, Java, but the lack of easy-to-read documentation for the interface to LibreOffice made learning to program macros challenging. The Document Foundation offers no official manual for macros. However, each of the manuals for the different modules includes a chapter on creating macros. It is better than what I had when I was trying to write about macros. The help file is the best source for learning the structure of LibreOffice Basic. See the chapters devoted to macros in each of the guides for module specific help. | **The biggest challenge for me was macro scripts.

The joy of writing about a program like LibreOffice is watching the program blossom before you. With each new version they add something new to the program. Sometimes, the changes add a feature to the program; other times, they makes an existing feature work better. So, before you think this is all about memory lane, let's take a glance at some of the new features and changes that have come about since LibreOffice was born.** | The joy of writing about a program like LibreOffice is watching the program blossom before you.

**In the latest version (4.4), the developers worked on restructuring the toolbars in all the suite modules. They removed some of the icons that users rarely click on and added icons that are used more frequently. They also compacted the formatting toolbar by condensing like functions into one drop-down icon. For example the line spacing is now a drop-down. As an added bonus, the Insert Field is now a drop-down on the standard toolbar in Writer, which is easier than Insert > Fields > [field to insert]. Icons like the bullets and numbering are now drop-down dialogs rather than pop up dialog windows, which makes using the basics of these tools quicker. | **In the latest version (4.4), the developers worked on restructuring the toolbars in all the suite modules.

The Document Foundation is doing a better job of keeping manuals up-to-date. All the current guides and handbooks are up to version 4.0, with most at 4.2 or higher. They are my guide when coming up with new articles for you to read.** | The Document Foundation is doing a better job of keeping manuals up-to-date.
