Word 2003 Macros working in Open Office Word Processing

[andreas]

Is it possible to copy Word 2003 Macros to an Open Office Word
Processing File and have them run there?
Any comments are appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.

OpenOffice.org Basic is a programming language similar to Microsoft Visual Basic for
Applications (VBA) based on StarOffice Basic. In addition to the macros, the
upcoming Novell edition of OpenOffice 2.0 supports running Microsoft VBA macros, a
feature expected to be incorporated into the mainstream version soon.

OpenOffice.org Basic is available in the Writer and Calc applications. It is written
in functions called subroutines or macros, with each macro performing a different
task, such as counting the words in a paragraph. OpenOffice.org Basic is especially
useful in doing repetitive tasks that have not been integrated in the program.
