Macro not running

[Yumi]

New to macros and followed the instructions on Getting Started Guide 7.0 to the dot creating a little macro:

REM  *****  BASIC  *****
Sub HelloMacro
Print "Hello"
End Sub
Sub Main
End Sub

The strange thing is when I go to Tools - Macros - Organise Macros - Basic, select “HelloMacro” and then Run it executes, a little box shows with Hello.
However when I go to Tools - Macros - Run Macro, select “HelloMacro” and then Run, nothing happens.
The same when I assign the macro to a PushButton in writer it does not execute.

When I start a new, fresh writer document and do the same the box “Hello” shows.
Where am I getting wrong?

Replace print with MsgBox

Where am I getting wrong?

Only at your conclusion “nothing happens” while it is “I don’t see something happen”.
.
print is an old statement, wich I used 40 years ago, when using BASIC or other languages in command-line tools or for text-screen programming and the output showed on the console/terminal or were redirected to stdout. Not all environments redirect a print to somewhere visible, so use MsgBox for a first proof of work from your script, when in environments like Office.

Thanks. “Print” is still suggested in the help pages. But I took your advice and the MsgBox showing a more modern message.
