That indeed sucks. I wonder, though, what > in OOo (via Trusted File Locations).

Is there any more Sounds both doable. I think the first one has the weakness that everything put ito the path is then trusted, no? If someone sees this and knows where bibus is.. ;-) Hmm, that said, google just gave me http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Security_Enhancements#Macro_location.2C_trusted_sources... > way (sorry, I'm no expert on OOo macros...)? Maybe this UNO connection stuff Not that I know, but that doesn't necessarily say much.

Given the steps above I don't think it's possible except when you write a script or or in python (python-uno) to do the stuff. Too much overhead imho. > I would like to ask you, what is your opinion on this. Would such thing be > possible at all? I think yes, I will look how to make this best - if you want file a wishlist bug :-). Did you ask upstream already what they would recommend? (either bibus or OpenOffice.org itself) Grüße/Regards, René -- .''`.
