The Dark Modernity

 In all honesty did I never have had any touchpoint with them.... IT Consultants.

So , IT workers are difficult already. IT PhDs need earplugs except they make sure they do not want to talk about their work. IT managers enable me to listen without hearing anything despite being able to catch any keywords past, my_name and you.

Salesmen covering up as advisors are not my paygrade having no decision making position in the company. Thank you for calling us and sending an offer. Have a nice day.

Yes, I am part of the call center. ....biggest honest smile ever....

 So, this is how you feel when you are the only one actually understanding the topic knowing fuck for well you can't let anybody know, needing the money: 

Please compare Office VB with OpenOffice custom workflow programming

Comparing

Office VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) with OpenOffice custom programming (StarOffice/OpenOffice Basic) highlights two fundamentally different approaches to automation. While both are derived from Basic, their object models are not directly compatible, meaning code from one rarely works in the other without significant rewriting. 

 

Key Comparison: VBA vs. OpenOffice Basic

  

1. Programming & Workflow Capabilities

 

 Microsoft VBA: Remains the standard for on-premise, Windows-only environments where advanced UI (UserForms) and complex legacy macros are required. Its primary strength is the speed of development for automating repetitive tasks within the desktop suite.

OpenOffice Custom Programming: Uses the Universal Network Objects (UNO) API, which allows OpenOffice to function as a service provider for other applications. While powerful and cross-platform (Windows, Mac, Linux), it has a much steeper learning curve; users often spend 95% of their effort learning the API itself rather than the language. 

 

2. Ecosystem and Future-Proofing

 

Office 365 / 2025: Microsoft is pivoting toward Office Scripts (TypeScript-based) for cloud and cross-platform automation. This allows workflows to scale from desktop to web and mobile, often using Power Automate as a bridge.

 

 OpenOffice: Development has significantly slowed in recent years. While it remains a free, open-source alternative for basic productivity, it lacks the cloud-collaboration and AI-integrated workflow tools available in the modern Microsoft ecosystem. 

 

3. Support and Resources

 

Microsoft: Offers extensive official documentation, professional support, and a massive library of ready-made community scripts.

 

OpenOffice: Relying on community forums for troubleshooting, as there is no official customer support team. For advanced users, an OpenOffice SDK is available to build custom extensions.  

Ok. Thank you Doc Google. That means that you can connect from Computer to Computer your documents. All of them. If you have an Excel Sheet in which you enter your hours that you need within a Project, you can by a mouse click push that to your boss and colleagues into their Sheets.

That you can also do with Word texts. Usually they need a lecture to create a mailing, in German called Serienbrief. That is to connect one letter with several receiving addresses each, in plain English: You have the same letter hundreds of times with different addresses. 

The same Variable function can be used to send parts of texts to other documents. So, instead of having the address on a letter, you can push text blocks into a database or list and from there around in the Office as you please.

If you use a USB stick or email attachments of about 1GB files never minding the bollocks of your actions, you will have with that Consultant the very right guy, but never work as I just tried to explain to you with neither Microsoft nor Open Source.

If you are happy, be fine, keep going...otherwise follow the AI generated links.
