If nothing else will work, you can always use this very ugly workaround: Tools → Macros → Organise macros → OpenOffice.org BASIC… → Select your macro → Edit. Now just copy the macro with Ctrl+a Ctrl+c and then navigate to where you want it and paste it with Ctrl+v. I think you also can do this with dialogues. As I said, this is a very ugly solution… J.R.
