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

Hi

To be able to use the Macro recorder you need to activate Experimental 
feautres. You do this opening the menu "Tools - Options" (on Mac it's 
the menu "LibreOffice - Preferences"). In the dialog open "LibreOffice - 
General" and at the bottom you find a check-box that says Enable 
experimental (unstable) features. This should be activated.

When this is activated then you'll find the menu entry "Tools - Macros - 
Record Macro"  and you should be able to continue following the 
instructions in help.

Let us know if you run into any more issues with this.
