Undoing macro changes with only one undo

Essentially I'd like to back-out all changes that a macro made by clicking the undo button once. This behavior is similar to the "Find & Replace" feature. Is there a programmatic way to do this? Can a macro be programmed to do this?

If your macro makes changes using the API in multiple steps then I think that in general you can not.

Interesting. I presume I'm using all API calls since my macro is written entirely in Basic. Is this the case?

My experience with Draw is that when a macro makes numerous alterations to a document (drawing a bazillion lines to look like the colored flower at the left), each change is a seperate Undo step.

I think it all depends on the dispatches that are run with the certain macro.
number of dispatches = number of possible "Undo"-button clicks

You can translate API calls to UNO dispatches on your own, but it will take you some time to find it out. So I don't think there is a way to rewing your macro by clicking the Undo button only one time.
