Macros

cannot run Microsoft Office macros. Although the macro language is very similar, the underlying objects are quite different. To set whether OpenOffice.org keeps attached macros (so that they are still available for use in Microsoft Office) for Word, Excel and PowerPoint files, use Tools > Options > Load/Save > VBA Properties.

Note

Opening a Microsoft Office file infected with a macro virus is quite safe in OpenOffice.org.

OpenOffice.org has the ability to record macros. It is better practice to use the application program interface (API).
