Issue ID: 126952
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: Resetting the profile loses all macros (and events
too?) (and on upgrade or re-install?)
Product: Installation
Version: 4.1.2
Hardware: PC
OS: Windows 7
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: Normal
Priority: P5 (lowest)
Component: ui
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
When the user profile is reset, all macros stored in (W7)
C:\Users\John\AppData\Roaming\OpenOffice\4\user\basic\Standard\Module1.xba are
lost because the Module1.xba file containing them is replaced by a default, 2kB
skeleton file.
This may also happen when a user upgrades AOO or re-installs AOO.
Users reporting "strange problems" in the forum are often advised to reset
their profile as this seems magically to fix their "strange problem". For
example, if the spellchecker fails and all words are marked as wrong, resetting
the profile fixes it - eg see [Solved] Spellcheck not working??

The instructions given are either to follow this [Tutorial] The OpenOffice User
Profile https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=12426 or,
simply, to save a copy of the profile, delete registrymodifications.xcu,
restart AOO, and copy back the Profile folders.
I also think resetting the Profile deletes any Events set up under Tools >
Customise > Events ...
