Re: [libreoffice-users] Strange Macro folder behavior

Many features are not available without Java so it lives on every 
computer that I own. I am not sure what the security risk is, but, since 
everything has one....

Happy to hear that your solved the problem and figured out where it is 
hiding.
This is probably related to "where did I store my macro".

If you remember...

1. Notice what Macro Library container you use. You might store a macro 
inside a document (and that would be a macro library container). Your 
choices here are really (a) some document, or (b) LibreOffice 
application.

2. Notice Library you used. Every Macro Library Container may contain 
numerous libraries. If you use the library named "Standard", then that 
macro will always be available, but, you cannot easily move macros 
stored in the standard library.

3. Notice what module you stored your macro. Each library can contain 
multiple modules.

I hope that I have not confused you too terribly much.
