I did a quick google for "Lotus Millennium macros 123" and it appears to be referring to a book. Are you saying that you need more documentation for writing macros in OOo or that the macros that came with the book you require equivalents for Calc? If the latter, say what macros you would require and maybe I and others can write / help you write them. > I think your macro could be very useful. I just did a quick check in Win98SE OOo1.1.1 (sorry it is so out of date but I don't use Windows at all these days) and Alt + 0176 produced a degrees symbol and Alt + 0178 produced a "superscripted" two (these being the only code I can remember). In Gnome (Mandrake 10.1), with OOo1.1.4 a right Alt key + 2 (not numeric keypad) produced the "superscripted" 2 and right Alt+Shift+0 the degrees symbol - easier to remember than Windows. A quick double check - is such a macro really necessary and if so could someone tell me how they would like an alt+ digit keys to produce a unicode character macro to work?
