OOo can read and write most MS formatted files. There are small
compatibility issues but these are getting less and less with each

Excel macro's are not supported (mainly due to there security issues).
OOo has its own macro language. Excel formulas etc are supported.

For spreadsheets, all macros will be lost. Some functions may not be converted.
