Re: xlsm
Welcome to the Forums.
OpenOffice doesn't support .xlsm files, due to the fact that they are macro-enabled and Microsoft's macro language is not the same as the macro language (actually languages, since there's more than one) that OpenOffice does support.
If you need to use a macro-enabled .xls file, then OpenOffice is not for you. I don't have any .xlsm files to test with, so LibreOffice might work, since there are reports of LibreOffice having a better compatibility with Microsoft Office.
If you try LibreOffice and you still can't use the .xlsm files, then, to my knowledge, using a version of Microsoft Office is your only option.

Re: [Solved] Support for xlsm? -> No
The answer to why is given in my reply.. but to make it simpler, the reason why is due to an incompatibility between macro languages.

Re: [Solved] Support for xlsm? -> No
I would be very cautious about accepting that a program can take code from another program and translate it reliably. The simpler the code, the more likely that is to be true. If your macros do critical calculations, where an error would have serious consequences, I would check the identity of the results very carefully. Failure to throw an error does not mean everything worked the same.

The name is LibreOffice.Libra Office
Yes, the LibreOffice can run some xlsm macros, but not all of them.
You must rewrite your excel VBA macros based on the StarBasic (or an another supported programming language) and the API of the LibreOffice. API : Application Programming Interface.
