If OpenOffice.org could use VBA Macros, Microsoft would probably want some money for that and that wouldn't make it possible to give OpenOffice.orgaway for free.

I can not use MS Office, because MS Office doesn't understand Star Basic, in which I wrote all my macros. Also, MS Office can not open International Standard ISO/IEC 26300:2006 documents, which makes MS Office totally unusable for me. Am I not normal? Does MS developers care? No, not really...
