tommy27 <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEEDINFO |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |WONTFIX --- Comment #6 from tommy27 <[email protected]> --- the macro recorder is a very old feature which is inherited by StarOffice (the ancestor of OpenOffice). so it's no surprise that new features of LibO like character borders (which do not exist in OOo) cannot be recognized and recorded by the macro recorder. as said before, the power of that macro recorder is limited which means that it cannot exactly record everything you want. from talks I had with developers I know there's no plan to rewrite the recorder which means that this feature will not be improved. so you should accept it's limitations and if the generated code is not functional there's no other way to start learning LibO BASIC (download this very interesting e-book from Pytoniak http://www.pitonyak.org/OOME_3_0.pdf ) and asking for help in OOo/LibO forums which always have sections dedicated to macro coding. I started using the macro recorder years ago (and I still use if for some easy tasks) and it helped me to get familiar with OOo/LibO basic and start learning how to manually code my own macros. you should do the same: it may seem hard at the beginning but you will enjoy it at the end. Handmade pasta always tastes better than precooked meals :-) so I'm closing this report as RESOLVED WONTFIX -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
