At work, we have a spreadsheet that serves as a specification for the
C++ product that I am working on. The previous maintainer of the spec
implemented the math as forulae, and was very compatible with OO.o. I
work exclusively on Linux, and I need the spec in OO.o. The new
maintainer of the spec wants to convert this to be macro based (which
is better than the old spec for a number of reasons), but he wants to
maintain it in Excel because he knows VBA, and the spec will be sent
out to other people within the company and to some customers. While we
have agreed that he will also maintain an OO.o document, I was
wondering if there is a good document that compares OO.o basic to VBA.
My premise at work is that the document must be available as an OO.o
document because Excel does not run under Linux.
I am not aware of a good comparison.
Some of the VBA constructs are supported by OOo 3.0. The "compatibility"
code that supports VBA was created by Novel. The Novel code was
integrated by most Linux vendors in their distribution specific version.
It is only recently that this support has been added to the official OOo
build (as in OOo 3.0).
I looked at the source code, but it is not obvious to me how the
integration layer is implemented, so it is not obvious to me what is,
and what is not, supported.
