Created attachment 66888 [details] Attached is a document with screenshots showing the current state of the macro;recording documentation, what the Tools-Macro menu looks like before 'experimental features' is activated, and after it is enabled. Problem description: Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Help 2. Go to macros;recording Current behavior: There is no mention of how to show the 'Record Macro' option under the menu Tools --> Macros. Searching the net shows that when 'Enable Experimental Features' is not chosen in the LibreOffice General Options then the option to record macros does not appear. Expected behavior: Mention that if the record macro does not appear that it is necessary to manually enable it. Suggested language for after the Limitations paragraph: Note: If the Record Macro is not visible or greyed out under Tools – Macros you will need to enable it in LibreOffice Options - Choose Tools – Options to open the LibreOffice Optinos dialog window - Navigate to LibreOffice – General and check the 'Enable experimental (unstable) features' option Platform (if different from the browser): Running Kubuntu 12.04 Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:15.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/15.0
