Anthony,

What makes you think they are password protected? My OO 2.2 on Win XP Pro
*seems* to open the .xls file and I can edit the macros via
Tools>Macros>Organise. I'm *not* asked for any passwords.

Is OO hiding stuff from me that I'd see if it wasn't password protected or
what?

Anand,

Anthony's point about VB is, of course, correct. If the Novell version can't
handle your macros you'll either have to doctor your VB till it can, or
rewrite them in OpenOffice Basic (or one of the other languages OO supports
which, I think, include Python and JavaScript)
