I don't understand any of this. Did you mean to post a macro?
Edit: I guess this post may well have been superseded by your topic about LibreOffice but just let us know if not.
Hi Mike, no problem. I have to rush off right now but I'll take a look at this and your main topic in a short while... as will many others I'm sure. 
I think that might also be an erroneously posted topic intended to be a reply to this post.
Yes, I trying to get the macro going in both word processors. Between teaching at the University and other things hard to get time to work all of this out.
Out of interest, are you by chance using email to submit topics and replies to the forum? If so, you might have an easier time of it by posting directly to the forum https://forum.keyboardmaestro.com/
There does seem to be an interface problem of some kind. @Macmike, may I suggest that you first pick under which topic you want this all discussed? Perhaps initially discuss it with one of the Forum Leaders to avoid any further confusion (I have flagged with them that their assistance may be needed). Then we can all focus on helping you with your question in one coherent conversation.
Apparently related topics:
The easiest way to add a macro to an existing topic is to select the macro in Keyboard Maestro (make sure it is the macro selected in the Macros Column), then choose Share to Keyboard Maestro Forum, and include the image and the macro as a new topic. Then in the opened new topic, select and cut the resulting text and cancel out of creating the topic, go to the topic you want to add to and create a new reply and paste in the contents that Keyboard Maestro created.
This is a stright forward sequence of Type a Keystroke actions, maybe together with Insert Text by Typing action.
But that requires that the Local_Title variable has the desired replacement text in it, and that it has been set in the macro previously (since it is a Local Variable, if it was not set in the current macro, then it will not be available).
Good grief!
I just export the macro from KM to the Desktop then drag the exported file into the Forum post. So glad I'm doing it wrong!
Ok that is what I will do next time. Every forum is different.
That's probably easier to get just the macro, but does not include the image, which is very helpful for folks on the forum if they can spot the error by looking at the image.
For just the image you can Copy as Image the macro and paste that.
To get both, the method I suggested seems easier to me.

Finally had a little time to try to get this to work in Pages. When I run this the Find and Replace window comes up but it still wants me to do more action with in the find and replace rather than completing the action.
My thinking was set up a replace with the value of Local_Title already appearing in the action once it has found the ?Title place holder replacing that variable with the the value of Local_Title. Then do the same with ?Series and ?sdate.
You'll need to post the entire macro, not just a single action from it.

I hope this works for you to take a look at.
@Macmike @Nige_S Please use the main topic, which is at LibreOffice Sermon Outline Title copy Macro (v11.0.3). It consolidates most of the posts which appeared on this subject under multiple topic headlines recently.
Keeping discussion on this topic in one place should help prevent any further confusion.
That's why I uploaded this simple, no frills Macro I use to share Macros and their images to the Forum. It just saves a copy of the selected Macro and its Image to the Desktop (or anywhere else the user wants) and from there the Image and Macro can just be dragged into a Forum post. I use it all the time.
Appreciate that! I think I’ve found what I need in Dave Sparks field guide. Just have to modify his Pages form macro.
I was able to get the macro sorted after watching Dave Spark’s Field Guide explaining a similar macro.
