[ILUG] Macro language in Word Processors on linux ???

[ILUG] Macro language in Word Processors on linux ???

StarOffice has its own VB type macro language called StarBasic.  Haven't
delved into it but it looks quite similar to M$ VBA and, of course, will
handle all your Boss's M$ docs.

BTW, during our tests of StarOffice on RH6.0 it runs very slowly.  Any ideas
why?  PII 350 64Mb RAM
