OpenOffice Basic (formerly known as StarOffice Basic or StarBasic or OOoBasic) is a dialect of the programming language BASIC that originated with the StarOffice office suite and spread through OpenOffice.org and derivatives such as Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice (where it is known as LibreOffice Basic).

Sub ParaCount ' Count number of paragraphs in a text document ' Is this a text document? ' Examine each component - paragraph or table? ' Is the component a paragraph? 'Display result End Sub
