[Solved] Convert VBA formatting macro StarBasic

[HansVanTilburg]

Would it be possible to replace the lines in this VBA macro with the equivalent commands in OO Basic?

Code: Select all

If you would work with templates and styles in Calc and Excel, you would not need this. Run this code in Excel and save the resulting document. Open it with LibreOffice Calc and store it as a template.
