VBA Macros - Interoperability
Abstract	When MS Office documents are opened in OpenOffice.org any VBA macros present are unusable. Novell & Sun are currently working together to provide VBA macro interoperability support. The solution will focus on combining the best parts of the opensource VBA interoperability solution from Novell and the proprietary solution from Sun. I have worked on this area under the mentorship of Noel Power(noel dot power at novell dot com) and would like to present a tutorial on extending the VBA ompatibility API model by creating/modifying the language independent object specification (IDL) files and migrating JAVA implementation objects from Sun's newly open-sourced compatibility API model into the new C++ VBA support framework.
Pre-requisites	1.Basic Linux Development tools like make,patch,.so files etc. 2.C++ Language skills
