While I agree that OO.org/LibreOffice will never be 100% compatible (for lots of reasons I won't get into), you might be surprised to find that your version of OpenOffice/LibreOffice contains support for Visual Basic macros. The versions in Debian do, for instance, because they contain patches, which if I remember correctly are from OGo. ;-) -- Chris -- Chris Knadle [email protected] _______________________________________________ Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) MHVLS Auditorium Feb 2 - Zimbra Mar 2 - MHVLUG 8th Anniversary - Show and Tell Apr 6 - Introduction to IPv6
