I have a serious anomaly going on for my Writer program - when I click on Tools > Macros > Run Macro, the Writer Program just shuts down. I have tried deleting the Program and reinstalling it, but still the same anomaly. I submitted this issue to the Ask community a few weeks ago, did everything suggested, and still no solution worked. I can access the Tool > Macros > Edit Macros and enter the code for a macro and then execute it. So now I really need to program some macros for a project I am working on and I don’t know programming languages at all. And I don’t want to continue trying to solve this macro execution issue. So, is there another app that I can use to insert a text document and develop a macro that I can then paste into the Edit page in my Writer Program? Thanks so much for your help.
Have you tried running LibreOffice in Safe mode or with a temporary profile to see if there is an issue with your user profile?
He said he had. I linked the other thred on my answer below at the end.
…When you try launch a specific Sub or Function?
Can you share the macro code of it?
If you wish to check that problem out, I’d suggest the original thread:
There is the possibility to tell LibreOffice to accept commands from external sources/software. Check the --accept parameter from the command-line

I guess this is a real show-stopper, as every marco will be written in a programming language…

The following link leads to a article in german linux magazine wich shows an example to “remote control” LibreOffice from python.
