So, many, many published documents for Libreoffice contain the language, “For a detailed description please refer to the LibreOffice Basic Guide which is available separately.”
Only it doesn’t appear to be. At least, hundreds of search results in DDG just show documents referencing it, not the actual document.
I’d like to use LibreOffice Basic, but all the documentation is of the syntax. I need to know the features, too.
Thanks.
Thanks. In my professional opinion, that’s one weirdly formatted document, but it does exist. (Having One Giant Page hasn’t been the way to go since the 1990s at the latest.) I still don’t see a way there to find the beginning and end points of selected text. That is, I don’t see a function that returns TextCursor objects showing the start and end of a text selection in Writer.
You can ask the question in this forum.
wow!
let me be nice and not comment this

May this suits your taste better :
you’re welcome 
Heh, we imported a much more “fragmented” (from some point of view) guide from its OOo old home, and it was reformatted since then, to be a huge page (I also am not a fan of that reformatting, but it is what it is; it is also not set in stone).
You seem to be right here (I checked only the first hits), but as google presents it as first hit for me this seems to be a problem of the duck…
I referred to the TextCursor object, which I knew about by reading that very section. As far as I can tell, that passage is not an answer to my question. To perhaps be more clear: what I do not know how to do is get the locations of the beginning and end of the currently-selected text.
Generally, we gather all the guides / documentation resources at our Macros Documentation wiki page.
