Rexx script to enable OpenOffice Macro support

From Jan-Erik L„rka

Hello,

I've used OpenOffice.org for quite some time and consider myself as a power user when it come to designing spreadsheets, so the disabled support for macros in OpenOffice.org has been annoying to say the least

I today found the relevant post how to enable marco security and now written a rexx script and tested it successfully. You can test and use it as well!

You need a macro in your spreadsheet to see that it actually work, so follow the steps below to add the relevant but very simple code to your spreadsheet

Regards,
//Jan-Erik

OpenOffice.org Calc
Menu:	Tools -> Macros -> Organize macros -> OpenOffice.org Basic...
Window:	OpenOffice.org Basic Macros
Area:	Macro from
Treeview:	[-]<Select your spreadsheet>
Mark:	[-] Standard
Button:	[  New  ]
Window:	New Module
Field:	Name:
Keyboard:	GetSheetName
Button:	[  OK  ]
Window:	<Your spreadsheets name> - OpenOffice.org Basic
Cut & Paste:


Code:
===== 

Function GetSheetName( i )
	On Error Goto trap
	GetSheetName = ThisComponent.Sheets(i-1).Name
	Exit Function
	trap:
	GetSheetName = erl()
End Function



Menu:	File -> Save
Menu:	File -> Close
Spreadsheet:	Select a cell
Keyboard:	=getsheetname(3)
Keyboard:	Enter
As you press enter the cell will show #VALUE
Save the spreadsheet and run the script below and set it to 1
Higher value mean higher security but also more restrictions
Reopen the spreadsheet
Allow it to run the macro
You should now see the name of the third tab in your spreadsheet in the cell.
====

You will see a window that ask if you want to enable macros if you set the security level to 1.
You can rerun this script if you like to increase or decrease the security level.

Code:
