I would like to have a Macro Recorder that works with all the repetitive things an ordinary spreadsheet user does. As a non programmer and non professional, I am grateful for Open Office and all it does for me. As long as I bother to learn its commands and functions I am delighted with the results. So why can't the macro recorder just copy in a user friendly way? The undo function works backwards; why not the recorder forwards?
I see many ordinary users on the calc forum asking "how to" deal with macros and feel their frustration when faced with the proverbial steep learning curve. Lotus Symphony had a great macro language which non professionals could easily use back in the 1980s. Why has so called progress made it all much more user unfriendly? If the macro recorder worked I could edit the macros and learn that way.
thanks
Richard
