[libreoffice-users] Running a Macro from a form

2014-08-28 Thread Allan Newton

Hi :) I think i'd first try just dragging a couple of the relevant files into an empty document and see if that is enough to do what you need. I thought that was all the Master Documents did but i guess there is a lot more to it! Regards from Tom :) On 28 August 2014 14:41, Maurice
