No kidding. I didn't say that it did. The op is looking for a way to
record keystrokes. I simply suggested a tool that exists that may help.

I know that.

Which is why I suggested that he look at the API compliant macro

I know that too. See
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/OOo1.x.x/user_guide.pdf for
documentation.
Thanks, though. Perhaps this will help the OP write his own import
filter.
