If this is the case, it may not be possible for OOo to interface in the same way. While OOo is a terrific office program, it is not an MS Office clone. > The user guide says to enable macros?

Macros are scripts which do specified tasks in an application. They are usually either written in some macro language, or recorded from user actions (keystrokes, mouse actions etc.). Their purpose is to make certain complicated and/or long tasks easier to perform." In OOo macros are written in Star Basic and in MS Office they are written in VBA. If a document you open contains one or macros, a message is displayed asking if you want to allow (enable) or prevent (disable) the macro(s) running in that document. > 740-450-2222.
