Description Richard Parkins 2013-02-24 14:25:26 UTC

I imported an XLS file which contained VBA macros into LibreOffice calc. It can't do VBA macros so I deleted the macros and saved the file as an ODS file. Every time I open the ODS file it warns me that "This document contains macros". I look in Tools->Macros->Organise Macros and there are no macros in the file. Presumably the ODS file still contains some trace of the macros that were in the original XLS file. How do I get rid of the warning? What is the point of warning me about traces that I can't delete of macros that I can't run?

I've noticed this before also - quite annoying. Glad you reported it :)


Marking as:

New
Minor - doesn't prevent high quality work but slows it down and is quite annoying
High - makes users think a macro exists still, anyone who had a macro and deletes it will be affected

In order to limit the confusion between ProposedEasyHack and EasyHack and to make queries much easier we are changing ProposedEasyHack to NeedsDevEval.

Thank you and apologies for the noise
