Process of creating a macro and assigning it to an event


Assign a macro that was created and saved in the Standard Library of OpenOffice called Test().
The directory soffice.cfg is created in the user/config directory once you assign a macro to a key.
An xml file per context is created and contains all the bindings.
Because the macro is in the Standard Library of OpenOffice and that the binding is only applied to a key in Writer:
The file writerkeybinding.xml is created


Content of writerkeybinding.xml

The content of user/basic is formed by a directory per library you modified (in that case Standard was modified) and 2 files .xlc.
Script.xlc is the file that will be explained:


Content of the file script.xlc


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE library:libraries PUBLIC "-//OpenOffice.org//DTD OfficeDocument 1.0//EN" "libraries.dtd">

You can see that the xlink:href of the library:name="Standard" is locating as file in the home directory because I modified that library.


Content of the file script.xlb in file:///home/al91857/StarOffice6.0/user/basic/Standard

Content of the file where my macro was saved: Module1.xba


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE script:module PUBLIC "-//OpenOffice.org//DTD OfficeDocument 1.0//EN" "module.dtd">
<script:module xmlns:script="http://openoffice.org/2000/script" script:name="Module1" script:language="StarBasic">REM ***** BASIC *****


Sub Main


End Sub


Sub Alexis
print &quot;alexis&quot;
End Sub</script:module>


Content of Module.dtd


<!ELEMENT script:module (#PCDATA)>
<!ATTLIST script:module

script:language CDATA #REQUIRED

When you save the document including the macro, everything is in a Zip file with the same hierarchy than explained above.


The file hierarchy is:


Archive: test.sxw
testing: content.xml
testing: Basic/Standard/Module1.xml
testing: Basic/Standard/script-lb.xml
testing: Basic/script-lc.xml
testing: styles.xml
testing: meta.xml
testing: settings.xml
testing: META-INF/manifest.xml


So the script-lb.xml file is the equivalent to the script.xlb file explained above
The script-lc.xml file is the equivalent to the script.xlc file explained Above.
