Pass Macro name as argument

Hi
I am trying to create a batch-file which opens Openoffice and runs a macro. My problem is that I can't find any documentation on how to run the macro as a argumement.

This is my batch-file
C:\PROGRA~1\OPENOF~1.0\PROGRAM\OOOWRI~1.EXE C:/ootemp.sxw MacroName

Thanks
Henrik

Hi coyote,

You can pass a macro as argument but you must pass it as a Ur, for example:
macro:///library.module.macro

Here you can find further infos:
http://www.openoffice.org/files/documents/25/60/Command_line_arguments_in_OpenOffice.html

Remember:
If you run a macro as command line argument, the macro will run twice.
This is a bug.
I've checked in the build 643 and this bug seems fixed but in the OOo 1.0.1 is still present.
I can't say nothing about the 1.0.2.

Ciao
