Re: [libreoffice-users] writer macro record function missing

Hi :)
The Published Guides are much better than the in-built help
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications

The in-built help is quick as a quick reminder or for quickly experimenting but the English one 
tends to be very out-of-date.  In the Published Guides try the "Getting Started Guide"s chapter on 
getting started with macros.  (free to download)

If you let us know what you are trying to get the macro to do then someone here might be able to 
help.  If it's just that you want to learn macro programming or convert existing skills  then 
Andrew Pitonyak's guide to macro programming is apparently well worth the money.  
Regards from 
Tom :)
