Description lprice 2003-12-31 22:37:38 UTC 
In Impress, the create macro button is greyed out. The create button is active in the Text and 
spreadsheet applications. I tried this on Sun Solaris, Mac OS X, and Windows 2000. The 
presentation macro create is disabled on all three platforms. A fresh installation of OpenOffice was 
made on all three platforms today (12/31/03).

Recording macros is only possible in Writer and Calc. So it is correct that the
button is greyed out in Impress an Draw. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the response. However, I am still confused on this issue. I searched 
all the Openoffice documentation for macro and found no indication that macros 
or macro creation is supposed to be unavailable in openoffice. This is an issue 
for me because I am using OO in production on the sun and I really need to be 
able to create and run macros in the presentation application.

It's not clear from the response if this is a limitation of this release of 
openoffice and will be addressed in future releases or if it is an issue in 
StarOffice and will not be addressed. I searched the Sun website and I found 
nothing there to indicate that macros are not available in the presentation 
tools.

Macro capability is needed in the presentation tools, whether this is a release 
limitation or whether it is an enhancement request.
Comment 4 wolframgarten 2004-01-06 08:14:02 UTC 
There is an internal issue existing (112032) dealing with the fact that the OO
help does not say anything about macros not available in impress/draw. Getting
the macros back to impress/draw will be done in the future but I am sorry I
cannot tell you when it will exactly happen. So I forward this enhancement issue
to the appropriate person. Thanks again for your help.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
