Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 124975
"Macro" tab page on "Picture" dialog warns about missing JRE
Last modified: 2017-05-20 10:11:34 UTC
I am pretty computer illiterate but didn't know where else to turn or how to resolve this issue. I copied and pasted an image into the Word application and was trying to crop it from the Picture toolbar when I accidentally hit the Macro tab. I wasn't even trying to create a macro, just crop an image, but I'm now getting a constant "JRE Required" error message reading "OpenOffice.org requires a Java runtime environment (JRE) to perform this task. Please install a JRE and restart OpenOffice.org." I don't want to create a macro, I don't even know what a macro is! I am unable to access anything else on the Picture toolbar, every time I close the error message another one pops up and it keeps doing that until the Picture toolbar finally shuts itself down. Every time I reopen the Picture toolbar I get the same thing again. I tried restarting the computer and the problem is still there! Is there any way to resolve this without installing a JRE (whatever that is)? (FYI I don't know if the application I chose is the correct one, I just guessed)

That's because the "Picture" dialog remembers the last tab that was selected, in this case the "Macro" tab. If you close the dialog, the next time it will open in the same tab. In order to get rid of this: - select any picture in the document - while the picture is selected, go to the menu "Format" - "Picture..." that will open the "Picture" dialog, with the "Macro" tab page selected - You will get the message box about the missing JRE, close the message box - Back on the "Picture" dialog, select any other tab different from the "Macro" tab, and close the dialog Next time you open the "Picture" dialog, it will open with that tab instead of the "Macro" tab. > I tried > restarting the computer and the problem is still there!

As explained above, select another tab and close the dialog; it will remember the selected tab the next time you open the dialog; and do not select the "Macro" tab anymore.
