I am using version 2.3.1 of OpenOffice Calc. I have been using Excel for
several years and I can navigate very well with it, I am trying to break
loose of the MS Office and just downloaded OO.
My difficulty is multi fold, first I wanted to add the "Push Button" to the
tools menu, after several tries it did get added but I am not sure which
procedure did it because I tried several ways and some did not add the
button to the menu, so it was not that obvious to me. The documentation was
not too helpful.
Second I placed the button in a new spreadsheet.
Third, I recorded a macro and then tried assigning it to the "Push Button".
I had a hard time figuring which selection of the "Events" window to select.
So I saved my work and checked on the documentation and the help discussion.
There was a similar question that addressed my issue.
I opened the saved spreadsheet but now I can not select the button with the
right mouse button so I can open the Events dialog box, the push button is
not selectable. So I tried to add another button but the "Push Button" in
the Tools menu was grayed out so I could not add another button. The only
way to add another button is to open a new spreadsheet.
I spent too much time trying to figure this out. I hope the process is
simplified to eliminated the need to send emails to user groups for help on
such trivial issues.
