Subject: [users] Recording Macros
I have recently loaded Open Office 1.1.4 on a Windows XP computer. I am
trying to write macros in the spreadsheet, using the "Record Macros"
function. I find that the recorded macros are not faithful to what is
entered. Some desired steps are omitted, some are repeated. Is there
something about this function which might not be obvious to a user
accustomed to recording macros in Excel?
Thank you for any suggestions you can offer.

I found that 1.1.4's macro recorder does NOT record activity that takes
place within a dialog box.
If you have not yet looked at the following, I feel that they are worth the
time.
Free stuff:
Andy's Open Office Macro info: http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php
StarOffice Basic Programmer's Guide:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1826?q=StarOffice
Links to some other sources of info:

And worth the $:
"OpenOffice.Org Macros Explained", by Andrew Pitonyak. Available from the
publisher or several different internet retailers.
I gave up on using the macro recorder for 1.1.4, and re-wrote my Excel
macros in Basic, primarily using the "OOoME" book, and the various free
items. Not easy, but it can be done!
