Hi :) I think all this has been sorted out now? The wiki page http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation has the new Macros Chapter for the GS Guide so i think it should be ok? Regards from Tom :)

Hey, it is the same news..... It works for me and looks fine. I do take exception to a few items that were done while converting this from OOo to LO (as it were); and perhaps a few dumb things that I may have done, but, I won't bother to go back and check. Note, I only looked at the PDF. The last page recommends that the user goes here for help: http://wiki.services.LibreOffice/wiki/Documentation/BASIC_Guide I see two issues with this. First, the link showed in the text does not exist. Second, if you look at the link associated with this text, it takes you to something other than what the text states, name, http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/BASIC_Guide. If LO has a site, then point to it. If LO does not have a site, then leave the OOo site. My guess is that this was simply a global text search and replace. [note to self, try to not do this, then I would look really silly]. Note, on closer inspection, at least four links have been incorrectly set by this. Oh, I see another in Table 1 on page 18. I found the very last text a bit amusing for this chapter: Printed and eBook materials The following books are available for download: And then, nothing is listed. Just a wee bit amusing. Unclear what should go there, but, some of the previous links may be useful. The screen shots showing OpenOffice.org macros rather than Libreoffice macros in screen shots of the macro organizer are probably fine, but, they are wrong. Lots of work to fix those... One example is Figure 6. A glaring omission in the document is that it does not mention that LO requires that recording macros must be enabled (Tools > Options > LibreOffice > General and then check "Enable experimental (unstable) features). That is not required in OOo. Any idea when the extensions library for LO will be online? It is referenced, but it takes you to a WIKI. In retrospect, I should have just grabbed the ODT file, tracked changes, and started typing.... DUH! but I think that my computer time is finished for most of the rest of the evening. -- Andrew Pitonyak My Macro Document: http://www.pitonyak.org/AndrewMacro.odt Info: http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
