I have emailed a longer note to Oliver Craemer about this bug. I have confirmed
that the problem still exists under 3.0.0 OOO300m5.
It appears that it may be due to the fact that MS Excel will reach across open
workbooks to find definitions of both NAME DEFINEs and VBA MACROS.
If it is true that OOCALC cannot use VBA MACROS there should at least be a way
to print them out from old Excel spreadsheets so one doesn't have to boot
Windows (and Excel) (if one can even do so). I thought the entire point of Open
Office was to not have to use closed source!
And the reaching across workbooks for definitions is essential -- otherwise one
could potentially have to enter hundreds (maybe thousands) of definitions in
every single workbook which needs to use those definitions. And there isn't a
way to copy (export+import) Excel or OO "name defines" that I am aware of.
