Linux Format magazine(www.linuxformat.co.uk) has been running a tutorial on OOo macros, written by Mark Bain. The 5th and final installment is included in the latest issue(lxf84, October 2006), which I received last week. The installment is titled "OOo Basic: Use VBA macros" Apparently, the Suse 10.1 version of Openoffice includes VBA compatability. According to the article, SUSE Openoffice will run imported Excel macros and you can even write your own VBA code within openoffice, by adding the parameter "Option VBASupport 1" to the start of the module.
