I'm glad to see the glow effect.

In Draw, I can add glow to a text box without converting to a metafile, but shapes will not show the glow unless converted. This is different from the website documentation.

To access in the Sidebar, it should read Sidebar>Properties>*Text Effects* (Text effects is not listed in the documentation.)

I'm impressed and will use this later today. It will be great to help text stand out against certain backgrounds.

@libreoffice Something's seriously busted with the macros. I submitted a ticket but am fearing that it might not get noticed. I don't know how your system works for that. Anyway, here's the ticket number. I need the answer to this fairly soon or I'll be forced to pay through the nose for MS Access, which I don't want to have to do. I'd rather just get the problem with running or assigning macros to buttons in Base forms fixed.

I put out a call for help here too:

Update: I wound up possibly solving my own problem, though the solution is wonky and involves using Version 6 instead of Version 25.x (I forget the number).

Here's my comment about that on the bug report:
