The OpenOffice.org macro recorder really sucks. It REALLY REALLY sucks. The worst shit I've ever seen. So just don't use it...
However, someone wrote a better one. It can be found somewhere at OpenOffice.org. Look for it, install it and try again... Writing macros manually is, of course, also possible and I think most OpenOffice.org macro writers work that way.
