Its true I don't understand all the ins and outs of this as I am not a programmer, but I am very paranoid about losing my data, so I am not willing to risk possibilities even. I know that I can click "no" when I open up a file with macros in it so it won't execute and that I can set an setting in the options to keep macros from executing at all, but that won't work for my uses. And I realize that the default branch of OpenOffice.org does not yet and has no plans to include VBA support. Again, this will not work for my uses.

Thanks for clarifying.

My number one concern as it is for many others is document integrity which can never by secure if OpenOffice documents execute Visual Basic macros, as far as I am concerned. This is just my perspective. OpenOffice.org has many other benefits regardless of VBA compatibility. But for my data, I am unwilling to trust it any more with VBA compatibility.

Apparently, you didn't understand my answer, and/or I was not clear enough.
a- there is no VBA-support;
b- when there will ever be, no automatic execution is possible.

By the way: in any program with a macro-language code can be executed. But that does not automatically mean being vulnerable.
