I'm using OOo 2.3 on Ubuntu Linux.

I have macros that change the paragraph margin indents and want them to be
called from specific autotext events, but it's not working.  I've defined
the macros and the autotext items.  I do this:

- Edit->AutoText
- Pick the AutoText item I want to call a macro
- Select from the button to the right AutoText->Macro
- The Assign Macro window opens up.
- I click on the Macros window and navigate to get to the macro I want (My
Macros.Screenwriting.Film.Margin1)
- I click Assign to assign this macro to the AutoText before inserting text.
- The object path
(vnd.sun.star.script:Screenwriting.Film.Margin1?language=Basic&location=application(.)
appears in the table showing that it is assigned to "Before inserting
AutoText."
- Click OK to close that window

Then, from the AutoText window I click on the AutoText item again and go to
the Macro window to see if it's assigned and it isn't.  Even if I don't do
this and just close the AutoText window, it's still not assigned.

I can assign the macro to an AutoText, but I can't make it stick.

I thought maybe some of the AutoText info was being stored elsewhere than in
my home directory so I might not have write permission to the folder, but
if that were true, I could not save the AutoText in the first place.

So even though I'm doing what seems like the right thing, why can't I assign
a macro to an autotext?


Thanks for any help on this.


Hal
