--- Comment #5 from Ariel Constenla-Haile <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Edwin Sharp from comment #4) > Programming examples belong in help section. > IMHO if user can't use it - don't show it in his live work environment. Most shared macros have this nature; and as every macro, they cannot be used if you don't know what they are supposed to do. This general rule applies to most macros in a default user installation are like this (any category from the menu "Tools" - "Macros" - "Organize Macros"); and the situation has been there since the beginning. In a normal situation, you would not execute, nor assign the macro to any event/action, if you don't know what the macro does. So I see no reason to remove the macros just because the average user cannot execute them. It might be possible a small clean up (that is, remove all the code that is only a sample, or move it to the SDK); if you agree with this, please open a new bug. Also note that some code must be left, for example, there are several OOBasic functions and subroutines that might be used by extensions, or by more power-users; in this case, the general rule applies and their cannot be blindly assigned to an event/action; the user must know what the macro performs. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
