Description oseebass 2007-04-16 17:24:25 UTC 
Several issues (e. g. 27454 and 32543) were opened regarding this bug - but I
found it is NOT fixed yet (at least not in every language...).

Try to attach a macro to an autotext by the following procedure:

1. EDIT -> AUTOTEXT
2. choose a given autotext like "Acknowledgement of Receipt"
3. choose AUTOTEXT -> MACRO...
4. assign any reasonable macro
5. choose INSERT

IF YOU DO THIS USING THE US-ENGLISH GUI EVERYTHING WORKS FINE - BUT TRY THE SAME
WITH A GERMAN UI - AND IT FAILS!

confirming the issue.

Works in OOo 1.1.5, doesn't work in 2.2.0 

In the german (or french) version, you can assign a macro in the dialog, but
that doesn't get saved. When you close and reopen that dialog, the setting is
lost already. You cannot tie a macro to an autotext.
This has been reported for Windows and confirmed on linux and Mac, so OS to ALL,
since it worked in 1.1.5 (and maybe earlier 2.x versions) I set the regression
keyword.

->oseebass: I tried it with a German m216 and a German/Portuguese m215.
Everything worked as expected.
Comment 5 oseebass 2007-06-22 12:34:02 UTC 
Sorry, I tried with german 680m18 (Build: 9161) and experienced the same as
stated before:

It is not possible to attach a macro to any AutoText.

I do the following:

1. Attach macro to autotext
2. select "OK"
3. select the same autotext again
4. result: no macro is attached to autotext.

cloph: can you please try it again and see, if it works or not now and provide description on how to 
reproduce this?

I think the problem is not linked to the non-english UI but to the nature of the
Autotext.

With windows XP - OOo 2.2 - French UI or English UI I reproduce the problem only
with autotexts created with the "New" option.

To reproduce :
1. Create an autotext with the "New" option
2. Autotext / Macro 
3. Choose a macro, click on Assign. 
4. The macro seems to be assigned : vnd.sun.star.script... appears
5. Close the dialog by Ok
6. Autotext / Macro : assignation is lost...

Everything works as expected with autotexts created with the "New (text only)
option.
