Note:
The built-in StarBasic (optional names: Basic, OpenOffice Basic, LibreOffice Basic) is a very simple programming language, with a few commands and statements.

BUT!
You can call thousands of API functions of the AOO/LO from the Basic. API: Application Programming Interface.
You must study and use them - if you want to use the Macros efficiently.

Just open /Tools /Macros /Organise Macros /OpenOffice Basic and you can immediately start editing/writing a Macro in the built-in IDE.

If you are using LibreOffice, then maybe you need the macro Recorder. You must enable it first in the settings:
Tools - Options - LibreOffice - Advanced - Enable macro recorder...
