------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Oct 18 20:19:45 -0700 2005 ------- I have always used a program called "Macro Express" to program macros at the overall Windows level. This program works well with every program I've ever used, including OO 1.1.15. When programming a macro in this program, one has a choice of making it "Global" (i.e., to work with all programs) or "Program Specific" (for a specific program or programs). As OO cannot map a macro directly to the Keyboard Minus key, I mapped a simple macro ("deleteword") in 2.0 to the F4 key (and this works fine). I then used Macro Express to map the F4 key to the Keyboard Minus key. When I specify in Mac ro Express that this should be "Global," the macro works fine in 00 2.0 RC3, but if I specify it to be "Program Specific" and select OO 2.0 (actually, I specify "soffice.exe"), the macro is simply not recognized. I confirmed this problem with Macro Express, who wrote me as follows: "We have tested this and have found the same results. It is most likely an issue with OpenOffice 2. There still may be some bugs in their code as it is a beta version." I can add that I have used the same "Program Specific" method to program the Keyboard Minus key using Macro Express to delete a single word in OO 1.1.5, WordPerfect 11, MS Word 2003, and a number of other programs, without any problems. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
