Hi,

* explanation about how to declare new types is AFAIK missing (I couldn't even find it in the office Help):

Type aMenuItem
    aCommand as String
    aText as String
End Type
Sub Main
    Dim maItem as New aMenuItem
    With maItem
        .aCommand = ".uno:Copy"
        .aText = "~Copy"
    End With
MsgBox "Command: " & maItem.aCommand & Chr(13) &_
            "Text: " & maItem.aText
End Sub

The only mention I could find of "Type" in the OLH was under the *CreateObject Function[Runtime]*, which can be found in the index, but not in the TOC alpha list of runtime stuff (there's another one for Uwe). Thanks for bringing this to my attention: the command is brand-new to me.

The Type ... End Type is new to me, too.
I couldn't find any reference to this declaration in the BASIC Guide, and not in the whole api.openoffice.org documentation. Possibly the example at CreateObject is a typo? Did you check if the example works as expected? Can you replace Type by Dim and vice versa?

Uwe
