Hi :)
The Published Guides are much better than the in-built help
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications

The in-built help is quick as a quick reminder or for quickly experimenting but the English one 
tends to be very out-of-date.  In the Published Guides try the "Getting Started Guide"s chapter on 
getting started with macros.  (free to download)

If you let us know what you are trying to get the macro to do then someone here might be able to 
help.  If it's just that you want to learn macro programming or convert existing skills  then 
Andrew Pitonyak's guide to macro programming is apparently well worth the money.  
Regards from 
Tom :)

Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] writer macro record function missing


2013/8/3 MissKeating <MissKeating@comcast.net>:
Using LO-writer Version 3.6.1.2 (Build ID: e29a214), the unhelpful "help"
says that in order to record a macro, one should: Choose *Tools - Macros -
Record Macro*.

Under *Tools - Macros -- *there are just 3 live options: *Run Macro --
Organize Macros -- Organize Dialogs. *A fourth, "Digital Signature", is
grayed out.

There is no *Record *facility, either at the expected menu level, or under
*Run*or *Organize*.

It is hard to see the relevance, but for completeness:this is all happening
on an Acer laptop running Curtains 7; 2 GHz P6100; 3 mB L3 cache; 4 gB.

If one ever managed to generate a macro, then there would be this problem:
"*To save the macro, first select the object where you want the macro to be
saved in the Save macro in list box.*" What is an "object" in this context?
Is it what we would know as a subdirectory, or is there yet another new
level of understanding to be mastered here?

They probably hide it because the macro recorder is crap anyway. Just
don't use it. Write your code manually instead. There is a slightly
better macro recorder available somewhere, though.
