It is no secret that I created a free macro document full of samples: http://www.pitonyak.org/AndrewMacro.sxw http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php

It is also no secret that I wrote a book called OOo Macros Explained, available both electronically and as a printed book. http://www.pitonyak.org/book/ http://www.hentzenwerke.com/catalog/oome.htm http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1930919514/qid=1090607425/ sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_3/102-7292430-9132150?v=glance&s=books

What you probably do not know is that you can see: Summary of chapters: http://www.hentzenwerke.com/catalog/oometoc.htm Detailed TOC: http://www.hentzenwerke.com/samplechapters/oome_toc.pdf Complete index: http://www.hentzenwerke.com/samplechapters/oome_index.pdf

It turns out that my publisher, Hentzenwerke, publically posts two chapters of their books free of charge. http://www.hentzenwerke.com/samplechapters/zsamplechapters.htm

To see only the chapters from my book: http://www.hentzenwerke.com/samplechapters/scoome_1_15.zip

In other words, you can have two chapters from my book for free. Chapter 1 is included. This is a good introductory chapter if you want to know how to get started in macro programming. There are numerous tidbits, but this is mostly of interest to beginners.

Chapter 15 is included. This includes the section that deals with drawing and impress documents. Less attention is given to Impress and Draw documents than the other document types.

So, if you purchased the break, great, but you can still grab these chapters early. If you will never purchase the book, bad for me, but you can still grab these two chapters for free.
