--- Comment #12 from LucienM <[email protected]> ---
I come back on this issue dated 2009 because the problem is still today in the
latest version of open office 4.1.5 and it is really annoying, so for clarity I
summarize it herewith : 

when trying to assign a macro to an event with the following chain of menus : 
Tools > Macros > Organize > Open Office Basic > Assign...> Macro..., 
it is impossible to select a macro from the document because the only two
libraries shown are "My Macros" and "OpenOffice.org Macros". (see attached
screenshot)

As it took me 2 days on the forum to learn that there is a workaround : 
under Tools > Customize, the same sub-menu is called up and in this one it is
possible to choose from the macros of the document.

Obviously once a programmer knows the workaround, he does not care anymore
going through Tools > Macros, and the problem stays in an unresolved issue.

However for newcomers it is desirable not to discourage them with known
workarounds around known unfixed bugs :), and it is therefore important to fix
this, especially as it seems not too difficult.
(in the worst case, just suppress the Assign menu under Tools > Macros and only
keep the one under Tools > Customize).

Otherwise, thank you for all your good work !
