I checked and got the message about Java when I chose "organize macros > LibreOffice Basic. (Writer isn't there.) I said "No" and now I see my Macros without getting the message.
Anyhow my macros are gone again. I made a library called "My Macros" Maybe if I store them under the Standard Library, they won't disappear. I assigned each one to a shortcut so I shouldn't need to go into the library, should I? I still can't figure out why, when I save a document and then look under "Run Macros," I find a new library with the title I just saved. Tried it just now and titled it Test. Sure enough, there it is! I looked under another document I had opened and found a library for both that one and "Test." Then I opened one from the Run option in the Win 7 start menu and checked and there is a Library named "untitled 2" even before I saved it. Is this usual behavior? I know so little and have always used Writer to create simple text documents or tables. This is the first time I tried creating macros. Also, for some reason, I can't get LibreOffice Writer to put an icon on the taskbar. I have to start a new doc from Windows 7 start menu "Run LibreOffice Writer." Do you think I should uninstall and reinstall?
