 1) I had thought to record a macro but clicking on Tools/Macro in
 LibreOffice Write reveals that there is no menu option for recording a
 macro even though the Help facility says there is.

You must go Tools → Options → LibreOffice → General and check Enable 
macro recording.
Restarting LO is not needed.

This option has been disabled by default because macro recorder has never 
worked reliably. If you really need macros, like in your life depends on them, 
you'd better learn how to write them yourself.

Hopefully someone else will have answer to your second question.

Hi

I have just installed the latest version of LibreOffice to try it with a
view to uninstalling MS Office later on if I find that LibreOffice is to
my liking. However, I have come up against two hurdles:
snip because another person answered question #1

2) When clicking on Tools/Macro/Run Macro a message appears saying
that Java Runtime Environment needs to be installed but clicking on
Tools/Options/Java reveals that this is already installed.

snip

Any help would be greatly appreciated

 What operating system are you using? Is it 32 bit or 64 bit? What 
version of Java are you using? (1.7 or 1.6.)? Is it 32 bit or 64 bit?
 If you are using a Windows 64 bit operating system and your Java 
is also 64 bit, you have a problem. LibreOffice is  32 bit and requires 
Java that is 32 bit. Also, Java 1.6 is reported to work better with 
LibreOffice than 1.7.
 What we both need is for someone who uses Windows 64 bit to tell 
us how you can obtain 32 bit Java. (I use Linux.)

Use these direct Oracle Java SE Runtime download links and select the 32-bit 
version appropriate for your OS, for LibreOffice you'll want the 32-bit Windows 
offline installer:
