NAME

6       extract_vba - A utility to extract a VBA project from an Excel 2007+
7       xlsm file.
8

DESCRIPTION

10       This utility is used  to extract the VBA project binary from an Excel
11       2007+ xlsm file. The VBA project can then be added to an
12       Excel::Writer::XLSX file to enable it to have macros.
13
14       An "xlsm" file is a version of an Excel "xlsx" file that contains an
15       additional VBA project binary file. The "xlsm" file format is a
16       collection of mainly XML files in a ZIP container.
17
18       The extracted VBA project is an OLE Compound Document in binary format.
19       It is named "vbaProject.bin" and is generally located in the "xl"
20       directory of the "xlsm" file.
21
22       See the add_vba_project() section of the  Excel::Writer::XLSX
23       documentation for more details.
24
25       Note: you can also extract the VBA project from an "xlsm" file using
26       the standard Linux "unzip" command:
27
28           unzip -j macro01.xlsm xl/vbaProject.bin
29
30       On Windows you can use any suitable Unzip application.
