Hi,

Thanks for the reply but I'm still having trouble.
I'm either way off-course, misusing LO or making a dumb rookie mistake.

I copied your macros to my odt document.
I then did a "tools, macros, run macro..." and selected the Subs I copied.
If I run EnumerateTextFields then it yields the "Finished" message box (nothing else).
If I run DisplayMasterFields then it yields the following message:

===Text Field Masters===
(com.sun.star.text.fieldmaster.SetExpression.Illustration,Illustration)
(com.sun.star.text.fieldmaster.SetExpression.Table,Table)
(com.sun.star.text.fieldmaster.SetExpression.Text,Text)
(com.sun.star.text.fieldmaster.SetExpression.Drawing,Drawing)

My odt document has 2 input fields in a form.

By the way, if I place a button within my form and configure the "Mouse button pressed" to launch, 
say, EnumerateTextFields then I get the following error message:
"LibreOffice 4.0.2.2 BASIC runtime error. '423' getTextFields" and it points at the line:
"oEnum = oDoc.getTextFields().createEnumeration()"

I'm stuck on something that should be quite simple.
I'm attaching my odt file hoping that someone can tell me what novice mistake I'm making.

Thanks,

Vieri
