It did wrote macros but in the wrong order. As the result Excel or
Word didn't find the modules in the VBA editor. I guess you got
"File not found" message when opened such "bad" files passed through alpha 2.
The point is that the rules for ordering VBA entries are VERY strange
and unlogical. I'm not 100% sure that the fix covers 100% of cases.
Anyway, I'm happy to hear that the fix works and re-saving office
files with VBA doesn't cause problems anymore.

Yegor

If we did get such errors, they were at least not visible. This issue was
reported by a customer of ours, who I think have a whole department of people
just writing more and more complicated Office files (The test files I had
had at most 400+ macros).
The problem was simply that without any apparent error messages, the Objects
lost their macro connections and went dead. One user reported that he'd managed
to fix some objects by right-clicking them and converting them to FormsObject 2.0
again..
Anyway now using POI 3.0 alpha3, all of the test files were processed
succesfully (Unfortunately, I can't release them to the community as test cases)
Keep up the good work!
