Per your response, I received the same result(s) when using a text document.
Obviously, I'm just trying to gain a higher understanding of macro usage, preferably in a spreadsheet venue. So, this is just an exploratory trip, and any result is only informational at this point. However, even with a long history in programming, I'm making little progress. But, something I should have tried initially, a google search for +"line 8, in helloworldpython"(from the error result at:) http://s254.photobucket.com/albums/hh90/gmak1520/?action=view¤t=macrodocumentation.jpg produces: http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:nrkwI8mKJtoJ:www.generation-nt.com/reponses/openoffice-2-0-francais-dispo-entraide-122001.html+%2B%22line+8,+in+helloworldpython%22&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us Now, if I could just read French. <g> I have to assume that HelloWorld is a text macro, and ineligible for calc. Thanks, for your comments.
