Hi all,
I'm having a real problem getting my foot in the door learning OOo macros.
In WordPerfect I could write macros that would make you your morning tea
and then stir it for you but I can't get a handle of the OOo ones. Normally
I learn macros by: reading the manuals and trying out the sample macros,
playing around with them, modifying them and so on. My sources for
Openoffice are:
StarOffice 8 Programming Guide for Basic and Andrew's various contributions
to macros. (AndrewMacro.odt.pdf).
I can't get any of the example macros to work in OOo 2.3.1 running on Debian
Lenny 2.6.22 (kernel). I get a variety of errors which I can send the list,
if requested.
*None* of them work? That is weird.
Please take a look at the macro sent by Michele in the post with subject:
Re: drawing tables dynamically in writer; need a macro for this?
I tried it in OOs 2.2.1 in Debian Testing and it worked right out of the
box (you just need to have some paras in the style named in one of the
marcros).
If you can also run that macro, then that will confirm that your OOo
installation is okay, else you may need to reinstall OOo.
hope that helps,
->HS
