When the document or a template is saved, all modules contained in the library are automatically saved as well.</paragraph>

The length of the program that can be saved in a module is limited to 64 KB. If more space is required you can divide a $[officename] Basic project among several modules, and then save them in a single library.</paragraph>

Since a dialog module can only contain a single dialog, they are often referred to as "dialogs".</paragraph>
