Microsoft Office => VBA; Office.Org => ?

[rolandr]

I'm a computer programmer analyst and I programmed in VBA. But now that I have also have Linux and using Office.Org, is there a programming scripting language with Office.Org?

 

[essellar]

There is a common API that can be accessed using Java and Org Basic (similar to, but not directly compatible with, VBA). See the OpenOffice.org API site for info, links and the Developer's Guide (but ignore the PDF links -- Oracle seems to have decided that nobody needs a local copy of the guide anymore; that the wiki is enough for anybody's needs, thank-you very much).

Don't leave out Python and Javascript for scripting, though Python can't be edited or debugged using OO's IDE. You can add support for languages with Java interpreters or other languages via a language with existing support.
