Thank you, Jean.
I've never used macros and cannot find the explanation in the help: how
do I create a macro with the code provided hereunder?
Xavier
- despite what is said in the book, when I modify the templates upon
which all my docs are based, I'm not asked anything when re-opening a
document based on it. And the new styles are not present.
There is a bug in OOo2.0.2 that stops docs updating from
templates. Here is what Mathias from the developers' list wrote
to me. (I posted this to the Authors list earlier today.)
---------------------
The problem lies in documents created with OOo2.0.2. A fix will
be available for 2.0.3. You will have to fix documents created
with 2.0.2 though because the fix only can prevent the creation
of further documents containing the error. Fortunately you can
fix your documents already now and get the updating procedure
back. Please do it in the following way:
Load the document you want to fix, execute the following macro on it:
Sub FixDocument
TemplateName = ThisComponent.DocumentInfo.Template
if TemplateName <> "" then
ThisComponent.DocumentInfo.Template = TemplateName
end if
End Sub
and then save the document. Next time when you open this document
you will have the update from template feature back.
This strange looking macro will set an internal switch in the
document meta data that enables the template update procedure.
BTW: the same macro will re-enable the update procedure in case
you have switched it off by answering the question "do you want
to update your styles" with "No".
You can execute this macro on every document if you want (e.g. by
assigning it to the "OnLoad" event on application level), if the
document is not based on a template it will not be modified by
this macro.
Best regards,
Mathias
