Although reasonably experienced using calc, I haven't used macros much.
I am trying to write a macro to make the first character in a cell bold.
Enter "abc" into cell A1. Record the following keystrokes as a macro:
F2, home, shift->, control-B, enter.
This series of keystrokes does what I want, but running the resulting
macro does nothing.
The code generated is:
sub djl1
rem ----------------------------------------------------------------------
rem define variables
dim document as object
dim dispatcher as object
rem ----------------------------------------------------------------------
rem get access to the document
document = ThisComponent.CurrentController.Frame
dispatcher = createUnoService("com.sun.star.frame.DispatchHelper")
rem ----------------------------------------------------------------------
dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:SetInputMode", "", 0, Array())
rem ----------------------------------------------------------------------
dim args2(0) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
args2(0).Name = "Bold"
args2(0).Value = true
dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:Bold", "", 0, args2())
end sub
The keystrokes home and shift-> appear not to have been recorded: this
appears to contradict the explicit advice in Help->Recording a Macro
"Selections are recorded only if they are done by using the keyboard
(cursor travelling), but not when the mouse is used"
What am I doing wrong please?
