OK, so there actually was something that I was missing. Thanks Andrew. You helped me a lot before (when my last name was Andersson) with macros and you did it again.
I find it strange that I can not import the standard library and it would be interesting to know why. Perhaps somebody made a joke about it many years ago and a developer took it seriously..? Anyway, now we have to live with that ridiculous limit so I guess I have to find a workaround. One that immediately comes to my mind is the following, which I am going to try when I finished this message: Shut down Ubuntu. Start Windows. Open OpenOFfice.org. Copy the macros to a file. Shut down Windows. Start Ubuntu. Find the file and export the macros somewhere. So now the question is WHERE I want my macros if not in the Standard library. Where else can I put them to make sure that they are active every time I start OpenOffice.org? Or is it enough if they are in any folder under My Macros?
