macro compatibility between LO and AOO?

["M. Fioretti" <mf...@nexaima.net>]

Greetings,

the subject says it all. I have already searched online, and am
looking at the manual but apparently (maybe I used the wrong terms) it
is not easy to find CURRENT information on macro compatibility between
LO 4 and AOO 3.4.1: will all macros created in one tool also work in
the other?

If not, why and when? What are the reasons/cases when a macro is not
portable?

are there any guidelines/best practices to write portable macros?

Thanks in advance for any pointer!

so, from your mail, I'd conclude that the "least common denominator"
is all and only the docs for OOo3.3, right?

Are there other guidelines, best practices, error reports
etc... besides those manuals?

Thanks

Just use the documentation about writing macros for OpenOffice.org
3.3x or earlier.
Going forward AOO and LO will start to diverge, I´m sure.

Can´t speak about what LO did with v4.0 as I don´t use LO, but it´s
safe to say that LO 3.x and AOO 3.x had pretty much the same
code/APIs, so from a macros standpoint code should run on both.

Just code for the least common denominator.
