Hi,
The option MacroExecutionMode does not change the security level in
OpenOffice.org ! It only defines what to do if the document you are loading
contains macros.
If you decide to load a document so that macros that exist in the document will
run without any warning, that is your responsibility. You (the programmer)
should know what is in the loaded document. I cannot see this as a security hole.

Bernard

Correct - if you choose to run a macro, the macro can do everything the
user is privileged to do. Including configuration manipulation and
formatting discs and rebooting the system.

I would name this a dangerous security hole. Is it possible to switch it
off using a configuration setting?
Well, to turn it off with a macro, the user has to accept to run that macro.
So I do not understand which hole you mean.
