How do you make it 'called "OneOff"'?

The document needs to have a library (likely 'Standard') and at least 
one module. Then you have an 'Import Dialog' in the toolbar in the 
module in the IDE. Because you need the module anyway for the macros to 
execute the dialog, first generate the module and then insert the dialog.

 imported the file. And found that the new dialogue was called

In my tests it gets the name of the tab in the Basic-IDE as value of the 
attribute 'dlg:id' and on import this value is used in the Basic-IDE as 
tab name. If such tab already exists, you get the option to rename or 
replace.

See above, you need a module.


BTW, I find is useful to have an own toolbar for macros. I use the commands
'Edit Macros' = .uno:BasicIDEAppear (from category Application) and name 
it 'IDE'.
'LibreOffice Basic' = .uno:MacroOrganizer (from category BASIC) and name 
it 'Run'
'LibreOffice Basic Macro Organizer' = .uno:MacroOrganizer (fro, category 
BASIC) and name it 'Organize'
That make access quicker than via Tools > Macros.

Kind regards
Regina
