How to enable the Record Macro option in LibreOffice

If you've tried to record a macro in LibreOffice you might well have come up against a barrier that isn't dealt with in the help guide: greyed out text when trying to select "Record Macro" from the Tools menu.


Don't worry there is a simple solution, which can be found on the forums, it just isn't that obvious. Hence the walk through.

Step one: open preferences from the LibreOffice menu.


Step two: within the dialogue box select the second option from the LibreOffice menu ("General"), then tick the very last checkbox ("Enable experimental [unstable] features").


You will now be able to return to the Tools menu and record of macros from within LibreOffice.
