Open file in full-screen mode

[StevenW]

Hi Everyone,

I got a file that I want to be in full screen mode when I open it.

I have seen some macro options on this platform. But unfortanitly these macro's do not work with me.
Maybe language issues or an older version? I do not know.

Hopefully someone can help me?

Greetings Steven

Open the file, switch to full screen mode, then Save it. It should thereafter open in full screen.

First of all thanks for the quick reply!!!

Ctrl Shift J = Full Screen
But how can i save this file?

Is it also full screen for someone else if i send the file by email?

[RoryOF]

The process I describe will only Save the OpenOffice Window filling the screen; you will have the toolbars and framing of the OpenOffice editing window. That Saved file should carry that condition forward to other users. I know of no way to Save merely the internal application screen as full screen (Ctrl Shift J).

But that is indeed what i want. Open a file with only the internal application screen as full screen. I know it s possible with a macro. But the macro's i found on the internet did not work with me.

But of course thank you very much!

Hopefully someone else knows a macro option?

To make an OpenOffice document open in full-screen mode automatically, you can use a macro. This approach allows you to bypass the need for manual intervention each time you open the document. Here's a detailed guide on how to achieve this:
Step 1: Enable Macro Execution
First, ensure that macro execution is enabled in OpenOffice. Go to Tools > Options > Libre/OpenOffice > Security > Macro Security and set it to 'Medium' level. This setting will prompt you for permission to execute macros when a document is opened

.
Step 2: Create the Full-Screen Macro
Open OpenOffice and navigate to the document you want to open in full-screen mode.
Go to Tools > Macros > Organize Macros > OpenOffice Basic.
In the dialog that opens, select My Macros.
Click New to create a new module. Name it something relevant, like FullScreenMacro.
In the macro editor, enter the following code:

Sub FullScreenOnOpen
Dim oCurrentController As Object
oCurrentController = ThisComponent.getCurrentController()
If Not oCurrentController.isFullScreen Then
oCurrentController.FullScreen = True
End If
End Sub

Thank you very much for the complete answer. A very clear manual! I really appreciate this.
I entered the complete code. But this part is not working with me. And I am a macro dummy

If Not oCurrentController.isFullScreen Then
