Why don't my macros run any more in OOo 3?
OpenOffice.org 3 uses a more secure macro setting by default. By default, the macros contained within documents are not executed.
To change the security settings:
- Choose Tools → Options → Security.
- Click the Macro Security button.
- Change the security level to Medium.
- You can also add the folder where your trusted documents are stored to the Trusted Sources list.
