Hi :) Is it a file that everyone needs access to at their own desks? Is it possible to just have 1 desktop with MSO on it and then people update the file from there?
If the other organisation is not Oracle then they might well be willing to re-write the code or have it re-written or allow it to be re-written "for improved security" and to allow it to be used with Free Software. A lot of people start off with both MS Office and LibreOffice/OpenOffice on their machines at the beginning of a migration or just to be able to deal with a wider variety of clients. Perhaps the organisation that needs this spreadsheet filled in might be willing to install LibreOffice on their machines rather than forcing you to buy a lot of licenses for something you wouldn't otherwise need. It seems you have some leverage there. There are probably people on this list that wouldn't mind being paid a little to translate the macros and at far less than the cost of a lot of MSO licenses. I'm no good with macros btw, jic you were wondering.
