There are various comments throughout Help which indicate things like controls are translatable into ActiveX and/or VBA. So why is OOo wiping out my macros? More importantly, I am not the only one who would like to build projects in OOo Calc and who will have to share them with Excel users. As a practical matter, what do you do? I have just been to my M$ Excel and 'Gawd' I how hate working in a WindowsXP environment now I have gotten used to Linux. I'll do it if I have to, but I would rather not. If you have suggestions, keep in mind that this is a small club's data that *eventually* we will want to share via our club web site. A thought. If I download OOo for my WindowsXp will I see much of a difference from the Linux version and will I be able to end up with an Excel usable spreadsheet? When I am finished will I be able to import it back into Linux (FC5)? -- Regards Bill --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
