FAQs and reviews are okay but what you really want is a manual. Please start with http://documentation.openoffice.org/ User Guides and HOW-TOs. Then try http://api.openoffice.org/ for more techinical info. Lastly try Ian Laurenson's wiki at http://ext.openoffice.org.nz/ > All of which is a bit by the way, but getting back to my original question.... > > Cheers, Bob Harvey. > PS -- in case it's not obvious, I do not expect Open Office apps to support > MS Office macro execution, just want the ability to re-create/re-code them. You are right, OOoBASIC is not the equivalent of VB so you have to re-write. Doc project HOW-TOs have a Cross-reference and a set of examples to help you in your work. -- PLEASE KEEP MESSAGES ON THE LIST.
