I went to Tools > Organize Macros > OpenOffice.org Basic, then I

I just selected the wrong one, then hit Delete. 

While waiting for a response I kept trying things and in the process
the dialog box was closed.

But all may not be lost. I opened a document where I used that macro in
the past. It appears to be in that document. So maybe I can get it back.

The problem now is trying to figure out the maze of how macros are
stored in OOo. I tried the Help and I have never read such a confusing
mess. It talks about libraries and modules and lots of other stuff as
though I know what they are. Or as if I care. All I want is every macro
I have ever created to be available in any document on my computer. 

Thanks for the response.
