OOo can not interpret Lotus macros.
Macros in OOo are stored in modules in libraries. A library can be part
of a document (such as a spreadsheet) or be part of the OOo installation
(I.e. available for all documents).
In OOo there are two ways of writing/recording macros:
1. Using something called UNO dispatch calls. This is the way that the
standard OOo macro recorder works. It is closer in concept to the
recorded keystrokes of Lotus.
2. API calls. This is generally the preferred way of writing macros in
OOo. The macro that Ger refers to above records Calc actions as a series
of API calls.
Sometimes in my macros I use a combination of the two.
If I remember correctly - in Lotus assigning a macro to Control+0 meant
that it would execute automatically on opening the file. In OOo you can
have macros run upon certain events, such as on opening the file. To do
this: Tools > Configure... > Events.
Hope this helps - Ian Laurenson
