Johnny, I do not have time to completely answer your question, and you
probably do not really care about the complete correct answer. But, can
you do the following (this is mostly from Memory so if something seems
just a little off):
use Tools > Macros > Organize Macros > OpenOffice.org Basic to open a
dialog.
Click the Organizer button
Click the Libraries tab
These are your macros, so make certain that the drop down list says "My
Macros & Dialogs", since this identifies the "library container" that
will contain your macros.
Click the Import button
Navigate to the directory containing the macros.
Select a file named something like "scripts.xlc". There might be two
files, one saying "dialogs.xlc", and I think that it does not matter
which you select, either should import both. I always select scripts.xlc.
You can choose to import as a "link", I usually do NOT do that.
You can also check something like "overwrite existing library".
Also, you can NOT import the Standard library, which is why I do not use
that for important macros.

Hi!
I just tried to import some macros I wrote in Windows XP long ago. Since I
don't use Windows any more, even though I still have it installed, I wanted
to use my old Basic macros in OpenOffice.org for Linux (Ubuntu 7.04 in my
case).
Here's what I did:
I copied everything in ...\Application Data\OpenOffice.org2\user\basic to
.../.openoffice.org2/user/basic, then restarted OpenOffice.org. When
clicking Organize Macros I can't see the new macros.
I did the same thing with my user dictionaries and that worked, so why
doesn't this? I haven't restarted my computer yet, but I can't see why that
should be needed.
I guess I'm missing something. Can someone see what?
