Okay, I understand that there is a difference between the two different methods, but still, 17 seconds is a very long time. Many instructions can be performed and a whole lot of data can be moved in that time. Does it really have to take THAT long?
For me it took 17 seconds to load that dialog first time, second time and every time. The HDD seemed to be working a lot, which I guess it should since it's loading stuff. I guess this depends on how many and how big macros I have, doesn't it? What are the advantages for me as a user to use the slow method if I want to run a macro? Not that I really need this function at all, since I always assign macros to key combinations, menues or tool bars. I also wonder how long this would have taken with my old Dell Dimension 450 MHz 320 MB desktop (but I don't have OpenOffice.org 2.1 installed on that one, only OpenOffice.org 1.1.5since it was a lot faster on that system)… Oh, and I forgot to mention my newer system (which I use all the time, this "issue" included): Packard Bell EasyNote laptop, 1.6 GHz, 2 GB, the HDD seems to be a Seagate Momentus 5400.3 ST9160821A 8MB 160GB Windows XP SP2 OpenOffice.org 2.1 Johnny Andersson 2007/3/28, Andrew Douglas Pitonyak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Consider what appears to occur Tools->Macros->Run Macros Displays a dialog that has already loaded EVERY available library/module/macro. This takes a long time because every library and module must be loaded and checked so that the contained macros can be displayed. Tools->Macros->Organize Macros…->OpenOffice.org Basic Does not load any library that is not already loaded. You can choose to select any library and load it to see what it contains, but no effort is performed to inspect the libraries before the GUI is displayed. This is very fast because nothing must be loaded before the results are displayed. If Tools->Macros->Run Macros "lazy loaded" libraries, then it would like run as fast. -- 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]
