Ok this is a learning opportunity, I thought odt is exactly the same as sxw just a with a different syntaxis.
Not quite, but close ;-) OpenDocument can do a few things that sxw can't do; it's more general and powerful. But they are very close.
If I have a macro with a window form and I save that document. Does that mean that the code will be in the file or would it be on my computer? Does that means that they are no-longer portable to another OOo?
The macro would be in the file, and would definitely be portable to another OOo2.x. But I'm pretty sure it won't be readily portable to KOffice. I don't think that macros are part of the OpenDocument specification. I guess it's similar to how OpenDocument allows you to embed an OLE object, but the recipient might not necessarily know what to do with it.
Could you do me a favour? Prepare a .odt file with a macro in it (e.g. "hello world") and send it to me. I'd be interested in seeing what it looks like inside. I can't do this myself, I haven't been able to install OOo1.9 on Ubuntu.
