Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 26005
Using ones own functions (Macros)
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:41:21 UTC
It currently seems impossible to do the following: I have written a macro that translates any string so that it can be used as barcode using the GNU barfonts. Unfortunately it is impossible to use a macro as field in the writer application. While I can use my own functions in the calc application quite straightforward ('=myfunc(parameters)'), I didn't find a way to do the same in the writer. I'd welcome this enhancement...

On a more general note, It would be great in one could pass variables to macro's. I have a macro in base which autofills a field on a form with teh value on another field. As my form has 5 of these fields (postadres = same as visiting adress by default) I have to copy the same macro 5 times and change only the variablename.
To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on my owner to the owner "requirements".
