Will OpenOffice open and run Excel macros?
According to OpenOffice.org, OpenOffice CALC can run Excel worksheets and read workbooks, but isn’t compatible with Excel macros created with Visual Basic for Applications. There are too many underlying differences in both programs to work smoothly with VBA macros. Experienced computer users familiar with VBA can port the macros into CALC.References:OpenOffice: Porting Excel/VBA to Calc/StarBasic, pg.
