I have LibreOffice 7.2.7.2 version as loaded by default for my Fedora 35 and also have LibreOffice 7.3.4.2 downloaded from libreoffice. With both I have tried a simple saved file with the word test in it. File is saved. Have Tools / Options / Internet / Email set to /usr/bin/WSENDTO (Thou I did also try using the direct path to program as well.). /usr/bin/WSENDTO has this. #!/bin/bash echo $0 $1 $2 $3 /home/msetzerii/.wine/drive_c/PMAIL/Programs/WSENDT O.EXE $1 Strange thing is that absolutely nothing happens. No box opens, and nothing in way of a error message is showing up.. But with my simple macro - running it opens the email client and has the document attached with no problem... Simple Macro Sub Mailto Dim oDoc As Object Dim Path$ oDoc = ThisComponent Path$ = oDoc.getURL() If oDoc.HasLocation() Then shell("/home/msetzerii/.wine/drive_c/PMAIL/Programs/W SENDTO.EXE " &mid(Path$,8,100) ) Else Print "The document has not yet been stored" End If End Sub Tools / Marco / Run and selecting it opens the email client with the file attached.. Not getting anything is what confuses me. Would expect something to show on screen, but nothing. The macro calls same program and takes the passed parameter, and does trim the FILE:// off the parameter. > Philip > > On 18/07/2022 12:14, Michael D.
