Hi Daniel,

The main difference for us now is that OOo doesn't support VB macros,

Valid for the most. There are works goìng on to make the use of VBA in
OOo far more easily.
I'm no fan of VB, but this still has to be taken into consideration when
you have lots of legacy VB macros.
Big con in thos situation. Unless you´re company is up for a change
(improvement) anyway. Than it would possibly not that much of an extra
disadvantage.
Also, the basic editor / debugger leaves a lot to be desired. There's no
code-completion support, for example, which makes learning the language
and objects quite an uphill battle. In fact, you'd have to be pretty
keen to stick with it long enough to learn. I've done some small OOBasic
scripts, and I don't look forward to the next one I have to do ...
I know from my own experience.
Here also, there are improvements coming sooner or (probably a little)
later.
The big plus is that OOo is cross-platform. This means that moving to
OOo makes the move to Linux much easier - assuming that this is what you
want to do - it's a worthy goal IMHO :)
Thanks for your comments and suggestions.
It's not my personal or business goal to move to Linux. The goal of my
question is to produce a nice brochure, to inform others. For the
marketing activities in The Netherlands. And I promise to take care for
an translation.
Greetings,
Cor
