Save toolbar

Post by SwedishChick »

Hi,

I recorded some macros in Writer, created icons for them, and added them as buttons on my standard toolbar. I want to be able to access these buttons when I work on Calc spreadsheets, as well. Is there a way to save the modified toolbar and then load it in Calc? Or is there some other way to do this without having to go through the same process of recording macros and adding them to the toolbar all over again in Calc?

Are you sure if the macro (written/recorded for the Writer) will work in the Calc? Tthen just modify the toolbar of the Calc too.
You need modify the toolbar in each applications - once - and they will remember it on next launching.
You must to save the toolbar modification to the application, but not to the actual document.
And the macro code must be located in the Standard library of the MyMacros (but not in the document).

Note that it's wise to package your macros with the icons and toolbars in an extension so that it can be reinstalled quickly (on another machine or if a reinstall is needed).
There are extensions to create a custom extension.
