+Debugging LibreOffice Basic Macro using Breakpoint and Watch
+======
+
+**A simple guide for you to learn how to debug LibreOffice basic macro using breakpoint and watch.**
+
+While writing complex macros to automate various tasks in LibreOffice, you definitely encounter errors. Some run-time errors are self-explanatory. But some of them are very generic. To debug those, you need to carefully put breakpoints and step through the code to see where the problem is in your code.
+
+Hence this tutorial. These techniques apply to all the macros written in Calc, Writer or Impress. And should be applied to OpenOffice macros as well.
+
+### Debug a LibreOffice Macro written in Basic
+
+It’s easier to demonstrate this concept using an example.
+
+#### Define
+
+Let’s define three variables which we would use for our exercise.
+
+```
+dim i, j, cnt
+```
+
+Define a `for` loop, which would execute from 1 to 10. Inside the loop, increment two variables as below. This is just for just this demo; however, you can put any logic you want.
+
+```
+for cnt = 1 to 10
+  i = i + 1
+  j = i + 1	
+next cnt
+```
+
+#### Adding Breakpoint
+
+Now, we want to put two breakpoints in the statement `"for cnt = 1 to 10"` and `"j = i + 1"`. When you put a breakpoint inside your program, it runs in debug mode and holds the execution at the breakpoint.
+
+To put a breakpoint in a LibreOffice Basic macro, put the cursor in the statement. And then, press `F9` or press the below button from the toolbar.
+
+![Breakpoint toolbar button in LibreOffice Macro editor][1]
+
+Once you do that, you will see a red circle on the left side of the statement, which means a breakpoint has been added _to that statement_. See the below image. In addition, you can add multiple breakpoints as per your needs.
+
+![After adding breakpoints][2]
+
+If you want to remove a breakpoint from a statement, press `F9` again in the statement, OR you can `double-click` the red circle.
+
+#### Adding Watch
+
+Now, we would add a ‘watch’ to the variable `"cnt"`.
+
+When the program executes in debug mode, the watch helps monitor a variable’s value between program steps. To add a watch on `"cnt"`variable, select the variable and press `F7` or click the glass icon in the toolbar.
+
+![Watch button in the toolbar in LibreOffice Macro editor][3]
+
+Once you do that, you will see the variable added to the watch list at the bottom of the editor.
+
+![Watch section appears at the bottom of the editor][4]
+
+#### Execute by Step
+
+We are all set with tools.
+
+Run the program by pressing `F5`. As we already added breakpoints, you would see the execution halts at the first breakpoint with a little **yellow arrow**.
+
+![Execution halts at the breakpoint][5]
+
+Now you have two options.
+
+Press `F5` again to continue the execution of the program, and it will halt again at the next breakpoint.Press `F8` (step execution), which would execute step by step, and you can see the ‘watched’ variable `'cnt'` value is changing as below.
+
+Lets press `F8`. You can see the yellow arrow comes to the next statement, and the compiler waits. Now the fun part, if you take a closer look at the watch window, you can see the `'cnt'`variable’s value is 1.
+
+![Variable contents during execution][6]
+
+So this way, you can debug, add breakpoints and add watch any LibreOffice or OpenOffice macro using its editor.
+
+Furthermore, you can add many watch variables as you want and debug your program for successful execution.
+
+### Closing Notes
+
+Although the above example is specific to LibreOffice macros, the same concept applies to programming and debugging in general. I hope this article helps you to understand the basics of debugging, step execution and watch in programming and macros in LibreOffice.
