How do I fix 2 different macros not working properly on 2 PCs?
BACKGROUND:
I upgraded from LibreOffice (LO) 4.3.2.2 to 6.0.7.3. on 2 PCs.
I checked if my LO 4 Writer macros on each PC still worked in LO 6. I have 30 macros. Each one simply replays 2 or 3 keystrokes. These macros were entered by typing the keystrokes for each macro into the LO macro recorder. I assigned each macro different Shortcut Keys.
I thought macros were OK on both PCs–turns out that’s not the case:
28 macros work fine. 2 macros don’t work–# 1 on PC A; # 2 on PC B.
See this Chart:
Macro #…Shortcut Keys…Works on PC A?..Works on PC B?
Macro 1…Ctrl+Shift+Z…No…Yes
Macro 2…Ctrl+Shift+S…Yes…No
NOTE that when I say No in the above Chart, that means when I depress Shortcut Keys where there’s a No, nothing happens. That is, no macro operation; no error message; no nothing. Like these keys are broken.
A LO folder named “user” on ea PC has the 2 macros–maybe the upgrade corrupted “user” differently on each PC? To test, I swapped folders:
Now it seemed the “user” folders weren’t the problem, but ea. PC was.
Because the result of swapping “user” folders was nothing changed.
NOTE I’m NOT a programmer, but I checked BASIC syntax of the 2 macros
above in both “user” folders on PC’s A & B, & they appear identical.
QUESTIONS:
*1. Do the shortcut keys of the 2 macros clash with the same shortcut keys in other programs, but different programs on the different PCs?
*2. Do you know a program I can use that fixes my problematic shortcut keys, and How Do I Use Such A Program to accomplish these fixes?
*3. Or what else might fix the problem?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
