I found this in the AndrewMacro document: "Yet another Hal Vaughan question and Mathias Bauer answer. Is there any reason to use the regular API calls instead of calling the dispatcher with the function name? Dispatch calls do not work on a document without a UI. If OOo is run in a real "server" mode (something that could happen in the OOo2.0 release) where documents can be loaded and scripted without any GUI, only macros using the "real" API will work." Did Arend Beelen use dispatching or regular API calls? /$ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
