Hi :) With the emphasis being on "Write" rather than just recording. Recording macros apparently tends to end up with mad spaghetti that is impossible to correct when it goes wonky. However it is an imperfect world so recording might be unavoidable, given time constraints.
If you do have time to learn how to write good macros properly then apparently Andrew Pitonyak's guide is an invaluable resource and well worth the money. It's the bottom link on our unofficial/third party guides page; https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Other_Documentation_and_Resources#Programmers Regards from Tom :) >________________________________ > From: Mirosław Zalewski <mini...@poczta.onet.pl> >To: users@global.libreoffice.org >Sent: Thursday, 14 February 2013, 15:02 >Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice V 3.6.5.2 (build ID: 5b93205) > >On 14/02/2013 at 15:45, norman.hanc...@talktalk.net wrote: > >> 2.
