thank you very much
this one works fine.
thanks for all your help.

hi there. thanks for giving it another try. in my setup there's an issue though... the macro always show "toolbar closed" message even if the "test" toolbar is open I think that this code line has an error: if MenuStatus(oAccCtx, "test") then probably we are not giving ...

I see it cited many times inside that macro.
I suppose I have to remove those lines to make it work if I don't have MRI installed

thanks 4 your reply.

is the MRI scrictly necessary to operate the macro?

I tried to install MRI on my LibO 5.0.4.2 but installation aborted

so I have to do that without MRI

I wanna execute some code inside a macro only if a specific custom toolbar called "test" is in "show" state. otherwise if that toolbar is in "hidden" state no code should be executed let's say something like: if "private:resource/toolbar/custom_toolbar_test" i...

ok. I'll open a new thread later.
thanks 4 your reply.

interesting code. I bumped into it after searching for a solution about a related task. I wanna execute some code inside a macro only if a specific custom toolbar called "test" is in "show" state. otherwise if that toolbar is in "hidden" state no code should be executed...

for the record LibreOffice 4.2.3 and following releases are Heartbleed safe too.

I'm a newbie about coding macros and that code tweak that looked so simple to an expert like you, was not immediate to me.

I see you prefer spending your time insulting people rather than giving help... shame on you.
this forum needs more people like Rory, RPG and MTF.

@MTP thank you very much. your edited version of Rory's macro does exactly what I was looking for. here's the correct working code Sub ReadTextFields Dim oFields : oFields = ThisComponent.getTextFields Dim oEnum Dim ThisField Dim s As String oEnum = oFields.createEnumeration While oEnum.HasMoreEleme...

Does the [Thisfield.Anchor.String] not assign the textfield content to your variable? You wouldn't assign it to itself, you'd assign it to the variable you wanted to have the text. That's how I interpreted the macro Rory posted. hi MTP, the macro Rory posted converts the text field into plain text ...

REQ = request

get a life, Villeroy.

thanks for your help but it's not exactly what I'm looking for. I do not need to "convert" the text field into plain text, like that macro does in the test file I have 3 text field (those written in bold light blue) and if you double click on them you will see that each one has a name and ...

the extracted string will reused in another macro which compares the correspondence between file name and text fields data, anyway I won't go in further details since I already know how to do this second part and I do not need help about it. the only thing I miss is how to extract those simple strin...

hi there, I have this test .odt file which has 3 text fields with text and numbers inside (it's a medical report template which patient name, date of birth and exam date) I need a macro to extract the text in those fields as 3 separate strings. basically in the mockup file I need to extract the stri...

@ F3K Total
sorry for late reply.
your macro is perfect. thanks!!!

is there any way to accomplish that?
having to manually drag a selected slide to the last position can be annoying if you have a very long presentation

a macro to directly move that slide to the last position would be a time-saver.

now possible in LibreOffice 4.1.0
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Rel ... 4.1#Writer

just an update to tell that the LibO team expanded the autocorrect capacity from 65K to 4 billions entry. this improvement is available since LibO 4.0.0
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48729

AFAIK ApacheOpenOffice still has a limit of 65K autocorrect entries.

@Charlie Young
thanks, that code works. I had just to edit the folder path.
adding [solved] tag to title

hi there.
this simple macro opens the "C:\" folder using Windows file manager.
I wonder if it's possible to do the opposite...
I mean a macro that closes a given Windows folder.

for the record here's a modified version of the script to make it work on Windows using X-LibreOffice, giving the exact path of the autocorrect file (you should modify according to the location if has on your PC) #-*- coding: utf-8 -*- import os, sys, zipfile, xml.dom.minidom #######################...

Renaissance (aka OOo Ribbonization) is dead. I'm so happy about that.

thanks Karolus. according to what you suggested I installed python 2.7.3 on my Vista 64bit PC. I was able to make the .py script work with the command line. I'm just curious why I cannot assign the .py extension files to be opened by python.exe itself, instead of using the command line each time. if...

@hanya
very nice script. thanks 4 sharing

hi, I'm a LibreOffice user. I've found an interesting python macro on this website: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/%5Bsolved%5D-export-autocorrect-entries-from-libreoffice-to-csv-867742/ the code is: #-*- coding: utf-8 -*- import os, sys, zipfile, xml.dom.minidom ##########...

thanks rudolfo!!!
that code does exactly what I need!!!

the present code copies the file "dummy.txt" from its source location "C:/Test" to a custom destination "C:/" Sub Test FileCopy("C:\Test\dummy.txt", "C:\dummy.txt") End Sub I wonder if it's possible with OOo BASIC to create a shortcut to the original...

thanks for infos. setting [SOLVED] tag

@RoryOF
thanks!!! the IsNumeric function solves my issue!!!

one last question, for my further OOo-BASIC learning, the use of RegEx inside the Instr function is somewhat possible or not?

p.s. once I receive a final statement about it I'll add the [SOLVED] tag
