Most people use LibreOffice which forked from Apache OpenOffice, rather than OpenOffice itself, because it's being maintained. At one stage I had both installed on my computer because OpenOffice was better for powerpoints, and LibreOffice for everything else. You can see a summary of LibreOffice scripting at https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Scripting https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Scripting , which says "LibreOffice internally supports the following scripting languages: LibreOffice Basic, JavaScript, BeanShell, Python. In addition, developers can use high-level languages, for example Java programming language, to control LibreOffice externally."
