Hi :) I found this link http://www.gmccomb.com/vbafaq.html
Apparently the language that WordPerfect uses for macros is "Microsoft VBA" so it's likely to need to be 'translated' into LibreOffice Basic or something. There seem to be 4 options for macro language in LO, see Tools - Macros - "Organise Macros" Hmm, now i see the wikipedia page says it uses "PerfectScript macro language" which is also likely to need to be 'translated'. I liked the line ... "WordPerfect macros ... are not embedded in a document. As a result, WordPerfect is not prone to macro viruses or malware, unlike MS Word. " but i get the impression that LO macros are also less likely to get infected but for some other reasons. If you post the code here or to the devs list there might be someone that is interested in having a go at translating to LO. There are some awesome people here that are often good like that.

My forms have the } character that I use where I want to input text. I created a macro in WordPerfect that searches for that character, deletes it, and leaves the cursor at the position. I've assigned the macro to a key so I can quickly go through documents. I'm having difficulty learning how to duplicate this in Libreoffice. Likewise, I'm having difficulty finding one that already does this. Help please. Thanks.
