Thank you for the fast response. A few more things:
(1) The instructions now say "Use Tools > Macros > Organize
Dialogs > New" but on my setup "New" is not a choice there. I
assume it should be "OpenOffice.org Basic" because that takes me
to a dialog (titled "OpenOffice.org Basic Macros" where I can
select the document and the Standard module.
(2) However, even when I typed in the Macro name, the Edit button
was not activated. So I tried "New" which popped up a little "New
Module" box. I kept the default choice (Module 1), clicked OK,
and got a window in which I could enter the macro.
(3) Newbies will not have a clue was "IDE" means in the
instruction "...enter the following in the IDE."
(4) The last two steps are "Click the Run icon" and "Finally save
the document". If I'm in the right place, is this the icon named
"Run BASIC" in the tooltip? Also, it's not clear whether I should
just close this window or save the macro first, or what, before
saving the document.
More clarification would help. I really am clueless about macros.
I guess it's about time I learned something about them!
Try the faq item again. I see what you meant about not being clear. I
have updated it to be a bit more straight forward....
Now the FAQ says "Tools > Macros > Organize Dialogs > Dialogs"
which surely cannnot be the right place to go. We're not creating
a dialog, we're creating a simple macro.
I managed to get to the right place from where this took me, but
it was even more confusing than the previous instructions. Also
the FAQ still does not tell me the answer to my question (4) above.
