Why is Tools | Macros | Record Macro grayed out?

The Macro Recorder is considered an "Experimental (unstable)" feature and is disabled by default.  You can change this by going to Tools-> Options-> LibreOffice--> General , under the Year (two digit) setting you will see a box with "Enable experimental (unstable) features".  Click the box to check it and all the features, including Macro Recorder, will be available.  If you have any problems with the features let the devs know at  libreoffice@lists.freedesktop.org so the problems can be corrected and stabilized.

LibreOffice3.4.1, OOo 3.3.0 running on Ubuntu 10.10 and Win7

Thanks a lot. It works fine.

Thanks a lot. It works fine. Because I need stable office tool, I did the following:

1. turn-on "experimental features"

2. record a macro

3. turn-off "experimental features".
