For instance, you may distribute a document with documentation and examples carrying the macros in a non-Standard library and use the Basic organizer import/update that code. LO is installed on a Windows terminal server for all users, yet each user has their own settings. To get macro distributed, I have to save it to a text file which then can be copied and pasted from for each user. Or is there a better way? BTW, is there a way to use an external editor to edit these macros? I'd rather use a decent editor like emacs than the poor thing built into LO. You can use Python or JavaScript as macro language with your favourite development tools. The Basic IDE is horrible, indeed. Such macro code can be dumped as pure source code into the user profile. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Ideally, this should work with multiple users in that I'd like to deploy the macro(s) somewhere central for others to use. Hi, You have two choices: 1) Write an add-in package which is installable via the extension manager. These functoons can have their own localized help pages and function names. They appear in the function wizard just like a built-in function. You can not write add-ins Basic code. 2) Quick and drity Basic functions without any integration can be stored in the Standard library of the global macro name space (My Macros). This library is loaded automatically so the functions can be found at any time. 2a) Since it is possible to call macro code from different languages, you can write or re-use functions written in Java, Python or JavaScript and write a Basic wrapper. The spreadsheet calls the Basic function which itself calls the other script. Thank you very much! For now, I'll just put the macro into the Standard library --- I tried it and it works. Would it be possible to have one file this Standard library is saved in for multiple users, or would that give problems with several users accessing the same file? Perhaps I could put it on a network share and allow only read-only access to it. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
