For the sake of completeness, in case there are legacy documents, which contain Macros which are still needed after a migration, I would like to point out the MigrationTools of OpenOffice.org's sister application StarOffice [1].
Microsoft documents are automatically saved to their OpenDocument counterpiece, Macros earlier using MS Office functionality will now depend on a StarOffice library, which wraps the StarOffice API and offers a MS Office function interface (at least a good part of it). Manual adaption of Macros is reduced, but not eleminiated, as the Macro might still use seldom used functionality (not yet implemented) or - in case of a migration to Linux - might use platform (Windows) dependent functionality, which has to be replaced.
In upcoming versions of StarOffice the majority of Microsoft Macros should be runnable after simply loading a document, without the need of a MigrationWizard.
