Originally I called it "One-Off" when I first created it with the Tools|Macros|Organise Dialogues menu. Later I changed it to "OneOff" by clicking on its name in the macro organiser window. , to a file.

Then you have an 'Import Dialog' in the toolbar in the module in the IDE. Because you need the module anyway for the macros to execute the dialog, first generate the module and then insert the dialog. I admit that I hadn't noticed that the "Import Dialogue" was available in the macro editor as well as the Dialogue Editor. imported the file. And found that the new dialogue was called > "One-Off", which had been its name some days ago.

Alternatively, why has > the exported file got an out-of-date ID? In my tests it gets the name of the tab in the Basic-IDE as value of the attribute 'dlg:id' and on import this value is used in the Basic-IDE as tab name. If such tab already exists, you get the option to rename or replace. So it seems that the dlg:id attribute isn't changed when the name is changed. This looks like a bug to me (not an important one). > > 2) Is there a way of importing a dialogue without having to edit a dummy > dialogue? See above, you need a module. BTW, I find is useful to have an own toolbar for macros. I use the commands 'Edit Macros' = .uno:BasicIDEAppear (from category Application) and name it 'IDE'. 'LibreOffice Basic' = .uno:MacroOrganizer (from category BASIC) and name it 'Run' 'LibreOffice Basic Macro Organizer' = .uno:MacroOrganizer (fro, category BASIC) and name it 'Organize' That make access quicker than via Tools > Macros. Thanks - I'll try this.
