[tdf-discuss] macro compatibility between LO and AOO?

[Andrew Douglas Pitonyak]

They work independently. The best you can likely do is to check the code 
or dev documentation to see if it is in both places and if it is marked 
deprecated or not.

I do not know how to check the IDL, but, if you figure that out, I 
expect that it would not be too difficult to check that for 
compatibility (but I have never looked at it).
