| <LI><P><A NAME="3"></A>I have removed the examples provided with the |
| Script Framework installation and installed my own but the script in |
| ExampleSpreadSheet.sxc still works. Why? |
| </P> |
| <P>Both the script and the Key bindings are contained in the |
| document itself, at the moment the [Assign Script] dialog does not |
| display scripts or bindings stored in documents. |

| <LI><P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm"><FONT COLOR="#000000">In order to |
| save a script event binding to a menu item or key into a document |
| there are two steps which must be followed. Firstly, set up the |
| binding in the usual way using the "Assign Script To ..." |
| dialog. Then open the Tools->Configure dialog, and select the |
| "Menu" tab. Click the "Save" button, select the |
| document into which you wish to save the binding, and click "Save". |
| You will be prompted with a dialog that says "The file already |
| exists. Overwrite?". It is OK to click "Yes" as this |
| will simply write the bindings into the file. Saving a binding to an |
| event into a document can be done by clicking the "Document" |
| radio button in the "Assign Script to Event" dialog.</FONT></P> |

| <LI><P><A NAME="5"></A>Why is there a delay in starting the first |
| script? |
| </P> |
| <P>The delay is caused by the startup of the inprocess JVM by |
| OpenOffice. |

| StarBasic macros [Tools/ Configure] and another to work with my new |
| Java scripts [Assign Script...]? |
| </P> |
| <P>The StarBasic macros are completely separate from and do not use |
| the Scripting Framework. As such they use their own configuration |
| and settings dialogs. In the future the Scripting Framework and |
| StarBasic dialogs will be integrated so users have one consistnet |
| way of working with macros/ scripts, regardless of which language |
| they have been written it. |
