Re: [libreoffice-users] deploy java macro with document

Hi :)
I thought macros were automatically embedded in documents?

That it might not work all the time and needs a big nudge once in a while made intuitive sense to 
me so i thought i was trying to help with that.  However i don't know about macros and usually push 
people to the various chapters and book, which i have already done recently.  So i thought we were 
just dealing with a one-off hiccup.  

How do you get a macro in a document or do you have to send it as a separate file?  
Regards from 
Tom :)
