Nope, LO does BeanShell, JavaScript (not Java), Python and LibreOffice Basic, which has a VBA Compatibility option, but the the VBA macros will still need som tweaking to run (I also prefer the original Microsoft VBA - probably because I've done macros in Word for over 15 years (back then VBA was an Excel-only thing, the Word macros was rather different - ah, those memories ...), but only just "dipped my toes" in LibreOffice, and don't find it very intuitive compared to VBA.
But to conclude: Toxaris' brilliant macro will not run as-is - but it is probably doable with a little effort. (Any LibreOffice macromakers around here
?) It should be LibreOffice, OpenOffice has a sort of Basic too, but it is not up to par with LO, and the Apache developer team may be brilliant, but they're not fast ...
