I really enjoy these in-depth articles on
certain operations in complex GUI programs
such as Openoffice. However, it's very hard
to describe them, and once you get lost in the
description, it can be hard to get back.
I am using OO1.1.3 and the article talks about
'Click on Organize', but i only see a button called
"Organizer". ok, i'll forgive the author for that,
but still, one HAS to be precise in these instructions.
Then it goes on and says "Now start the macro recorder." There is no description where to
do this. ok, after some fooling around, it was
in tools->macros again,where i was before.
Then i was able to record, stop the recording
and save the macro with a cute new name.
Next hurdle was the linking to a key.
I've got no Customize under the Tools-> pulldown..
There is Configure and Options.... perhaps the
author was using another version (2.0 ?) which
i don;t have.
Indeed,once i pulled Tools->Configure i found
a keyboard tab and the instructions made sense
again.
