Description Daniel Morris 2009-06-15 15:01:32 UTC 
I recorded a macro to sort some rows from one sheet of a multi-sheet workbook in oocalc, then highlighted the whole of the first sheet (Ctrl-A) and chose File-Export as PDF, opting for Selection only in the General tab of the dialogue.

When I replay the macro it exports all sheets to the pdf.

Also when I replay the macro it forgets that I had rows 3-80 selected before applying the column sort and will default to all rows - rows 1 & 2 had my
title/headings!

Noel, could you check this one?
Comment 2 Noel Power 2009-06-18 11:34:38 UTC 
please in future if you are reporting two separate bugs then open two separate bugs. 

This is an upstream issue
personally I think the macro recorder is so crap we should disable it, it causes more confusion, doesn't really work etc. For upstream
