of course replacing, i chose the wrong word :)

the problem is, if this is an oo.org macro, the document must be 
imported in oo.org and then saved - and if it is saved as .doc it 
probably will be different than the orginal one that was saved in word 
(actually even resaving the document with different word version 
sometimes removes the problematic part)

or are we talking about msword macro ?
