It's easy to record and replay macros on Open Office. I'm currently formatting a document and it involved mundane tasks like setting font format to heading3, converting a paragraph to bulleted list, etc.
Customized macros work well for these.
STEPS
1. Begin to record a macro
Tools>Macros>Record Macro
2. Perform the tasks you want recorded.
3. Click on Stop Recording. "Stop recording" looks inactive on mac but it does work.
4. #3 will open a window asking you to save the macro. Give a name.
5. Macro is now saved. Run it and see everything works as needed.
Tools>Macros>Run Macro
6. Assign this macro to a keyboard shortcut for ease in running. Tools>Macros>Organize Macros>Openoffice Basic
7. Select the macro and click edit.
8. #7 will open the macro in a new window.
9. Tools > Customize
10. Select the shortcut key you want to assign to this macro e.g. Command+J
11. From Category, select your macro's location. It will be OpenOffice org Macros > user
12. From Functions, select the macro. Click Modify.
The shortcut should appear in the Keys window.
