The macros work when clicked on. They work when assigned to a tool bar and clicked on. But they do not work when assigned to a key. Anyone else having trouble with this or is there a trick to it?

Expletive Expletive Expletive all the carefully recorded macros from yesterday are gone. No, the save thingy was not used, that will have to be figured out today. Macros always used to save along with the current application or ss.

Did discover that the whole Macro page from OOo1.1.4 Basic can be pasted into OOo1.9 so that saved some time.

Tried to assign them to Control M or T or Y or Z and Shift Control M or T or Y or Z

EDIT Having copy/pasted the old macro page and gone thru to make notes about where it did not want to change text And SAVED key assignments are working. Guess it is necessary to save macros separately from the workbook they are in.
