Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice V 3.6.5.2 (build ID: 5b93205)

Hi :)
With the emphasis being on "Write" rather than just recording.  Recording macros apparently tends 
to end up with mad spaghetti that is impossible to correct when it goes wonky.  However it is an 
imperfect world so recording might be unavoidable, given time constraints.

If you do have time to learn how to write good macros properly then apparently Andrew Pitonyak's 
guide is an invaluable resource and well worth the money.  It's the bottom link on our 
unofficial/third party guides page;

Regards from
Tom :)
