let me start by eliminating any assumptions. I have never written a
spreadsheet macro.
Now, as I read the star/OOo basic documentation, I notice that there
seems to be no explanation of where to write a macro, and how to
execute it, other than to push a button. I have heard elsewhere
that the macro could be a command line argument, allowing for
execution via icon clicking.
If you start to tell me, 'its the same as ms excel', please see
paragraph one.

I assume that I have not received any feedback to my simple question
because my windows real time clock said it was about 23 o'clock on
tomorrownight. It seems windows uses a crystal ball as a time base
instead of a crystal.
John,
You stated that you had read the Star/OOo Basic documentation but are
still lost about where to start on Macros. Since you are just
beginning your budding education in Macros, I would suggest that you
start by downloading these two documents:
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/oooauthors2/0312CG-CalcMacros.pdf
also take a look at Chapter 17 in the Getting Started Guide :
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/oooauthors2/0100GS-GettingStarted.pdf
These and more can be found at:
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/oooauthors2/index.html
Hope this helps you get started.
In the getting started guide, there is a section using the macro
recorder (chapter 17).
There is another chapter here:
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/oooauthors2/IntroductionToMacros.pdf
Read or skip chapter 17 and the new link, and it should answer the
question that you just asked (complete with pictures and arrows).
Also, there was probably no replies, because fewer list members know
about macros.
