Re: [libreoffice-users] writer macro record function missing
Hi To be able to use the Macro recorder you need to activate Experimental feautres. You do this opening the menu "Tools - Options" (on Mac it's the menu "LibreOffice - Preferences"). In the dialog open "LibreOffice - General" and at the bottom you find a check-box that says Enable experimental (unstable) features. This should be activated. When this is activated then you'll find the menu entry "Tools - Macros - Record Macro" and you should be able to continue following the instructions in help. Let us know if you run into any more issues with this. /Niklas MissKeating skrev 2013-08-03 17:45: Using LO-writer Version 3.6.1.2 (Build ID: e29a214), the unhelpful "help" says that in order to record a macro, one should: Choose *Tools - Macros - Record Macro*.

Re: [libreoffice-users] writer macro record function missing
Hi :) The Published Guides are much better than the in-built help https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications The in-built help is quick as a quick reminder or for quickly experimenting but the English one tends to be very out-of-date. In the Published Guides try the "Getting Started Guide"s chapter on getting started with macros. (free to download) If you let us know what you are trying to get the macro to do then someone here might be able to help. If it's just that you want to learn macro programming or convert existing skills then Andrew Pitonyak's guide to macro programming is apparently well worth the money.
