Are you sure that it doesn't affect even new documents you create later?
Then it would be a bug (Writer having a cached value that doesn't react
on changes of the configuration) and you should create an issue.
If it only doesn't affect the current (or other already opened)
documents the reason is that this is a document setting that is read
from the configuration and set when the document is created. This
happens with quite a lot of view settings in Writer. If you switch it on
in the GUI it will be applied to both the configuration (that's what you
did in your macro) *and* the view settings of the current document
I don't know the API to change the corresponding setting at the
document, sorry. Perhaps somebody else does.
Ciao,
