I started to create Writer2ePub using MS Word's macros. Unfortunately I had a lot of troubles because:
- MSWord macros are not cross platform compatible.
- There are too much bugs and undocumented functions.
- A macro needs to be rechecked or rewritten each time a new MSWord version is released.
- Some function essential to W2E are not available in MSWord and needs to call external programs.
- There is no a simple way to install a complex macro like W2E under MSWord.

So, two years ago, I discarded MSWord and I start to use the more powerful OOo (speaking about macro programming).
