Are you looking at the version for OOo or for LO. This was very recently
redone for LO.

Hello,
I am writing this off line, as I expect it will be overly long.
I have a record, going back to 2008, of my daily blood testing. Over time,
I have changed the format of the lines. Today I am making the columns
narrower, and putting the columns into a different order. I used to
indicate the finger that I was using, and then the day, and then the date.
Blood pressure and time of day were next; and finally glucose reading and
pulse. Today I want day, date, glucose, time, b/p, and pulse. Since the
former record was pretty uniform, it was easy enough to write a macro,
ReArrange.
Today I found
Chapter 13
Getting Started with Macros
Using the Macro Recorder … and beyond
On page 5, there are these 2 lines:
8) Select the Module1, or the new module that you created, and click Edit
to
open the Integrated Debugging Environment (IDE).
9) The IDE is a text editor for macros that allows you to edit and create
macros. Copy the macro into the IDE.
Since I had already written 7 macros, by clicking on Tools, Macros, Record,
I don't understand these 9 lines. And I found Tools, Macros, Organize,
Basic, Run by going out a little farther.
NOW for the important questions. Page 12, Running the Macro Quickly.
I have modified Main thus: Sub Main
ReArrange
End Sub
On the edit screen I find Run Basic. But of what value is that? To get
there I still need to press Alt-T, M, O, B. So what is the difference
between Enter (to Run) and clicking on Run Basic? I need a button (Run
Basic) or a function key (F5) on my main document window. (I know F5
currently opens a Navigator window, whatever that is.)
Also, near the end of ReArrange, I want to CALL TabSet, and align the
columns properly. Putting TabSet into ReArrange does nothing. I have also
tried copying the TabSet macro into ReArrange. This also does nothing.
I know I'm doing something wrong, but what? And I know that I ask very few
questions. I expect you to read between the words, never mind the lines,
and answer the questions that I imply. :)
The e-mail that I got had my earlier question properly formatted.
Thanks, and bless you.
