There is a background attribute which contains the color for the background. You can grab the cursor and check to see if the background is set to your special background color (or if it is set to anything at all). Then, you can make your decision of what to do based on that (clear it or set it). There may be a few difficulties based on the complexity of your selection and things such as cursor position. For example, what happens if you select a range of text and only part of it has the background set and part does not? Also, if the cursor is positioned at the end of the text with the background, you may experience a different result than if it is at the front. I could ramble on, but, no reason at this point. As to how to find the macro, well, this depends on where you stored it in the first place. The macro may be stored in a single document, in which case it should only be available in a single document. It is most likely stored in the OOo Standard library. Use Tools > Macros > Organize Macros > OpenOffice.org Basic to open the OOo Macros dialog. In the left side of the screen, scroll to the top of the list labeled "Macro From". Expand "My Macros". There should be a Library named "Standard". I would look there first. Highlight a module (probably named "Module 1" and click Edit. -- Andrew Pitonyak My Macro Document: http://www.pitonyak.org/AndrewMacro.odt My Book: http://www.hentzenwerke.com/catalog/oome.htm Info: http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php See Also: http://documentation.openoffice.org/HOW_TO/index.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
