It depend on LO version. Any existing macro working in latest AOO should also 
work in LO 3.6 and earlier. LO 4.0 has some changes in API that may render 
macros (and extensions) unusable, depending if they rely on changed parts of 
API or not.

For excessive list of changes take a look at release notes of 4.0:

The same may go to 4.1, 4.2 etc. Any changes in API will be noted on release 
notes wiki page, so take a look there if in doubt.

[libreoffice-users] macro compatibility between LO and AOO?

2013-03-03 Thread M. Fioretti 
(sorry if this comes in twice, my email server had problems earlier
today)Reply-To: "M. Fioretti" 

Greetings,

the subject says it all. I have already searched online, and am
looking at the manual but apparently (maybe I used the wrong terms) it
is not easy to find CURRENT information on macro compatibility between
LO 4 and AOO 3.4.1: will all macros created in one tool also work in
the other?

If not, why and when? What are the reasons/cases when a macro is not
portable?

are there any guidelines/best practices to write portable macros?

Thanks in advance for any pointer!
