Figure 6. New library dialog. 6) The default name is Library1, which is not very descriptive. Choose a descriptive name and click OK. The new library is shown in the list. For this example, I named the library “HelloWorld”. Figure 7. The new library is shown in the list. 7) In the Modules tab, select the HelloWorld library. OOo created the module named “Module1” when the library was created. Tip Although Module1 is created when the library is created, a bug in OOo 3.2 may prevent the module from displaying without closing and re-opening the dialog. 17
Figure 8. The new library is shown in the list. 8) Click New to open the New Module dialog. The default name is Module2, because Module1 already exists. Figure 9. New module dialog. 9) Use a descriptive name and click OK. Module1 is finally displayed (bug in 3.2.0), as is the newly created module. 18
