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.
