Use Writer macros in Impress

[wrkglady]

I would like to be able to record macros in Writer and then use them in Impress. Can I do this? (I'm doing this because it doesn't seem possible to create macros in Impress. If it is, please let me know how to do that. My record macro option is grayed.)

I doubt that you can transfer Writer macros to Impress. May be you can record some actions that operate on a selected portion of text and the run the same macro against a selection of text in Impress or Draw. As far as I know the macro recorder does not record any actions on shapes.
I just tried with a recorded macro that replaces all "a" with "X" in selected text. It does not work with selected text in Impress. It fails silently (does nothing without error message).
