The Wine team has announced that version 2.0 of the Windows compatibility layer has been released.
The main highlights are the support for Microsoft Office 2013, and the 64-bit support on macOS.
[...] This is the first release made on the new time-based, annual release schedule. This implies that some features that are being worked on but couldn't be finished in time have been deferred to the next development cycle. This includes in particular the Direct3D command stream, the full HID support, the Android graphics driver, and message-mode pipes.
Do any soylentils still rely on Wine for that one irreplaceable application?

The guys in Munich hit this problem early on and developed (GPL'd) WollMux. [google.com]
Have you heard of that?
Did you give it a try?
...and OxygenOffice (a fork of OO.o, affiliated with SuSE) had decent M$Orifice macro compatibility for the most-commonly-used VBA stuff a bunch of years back.
The OO.o guys were resistant to incorporating that stuff, but the LibreOffice guys jumped on that like a duck on a june bug.
It seems clear that your efforts were before that fork.

No, those macros were doing some internal business logic and had to import data from external databases and after doing their stuff export some to some other systems etc.
Maybe that OxygenOffice could have worked but I doubt, they went with RHEL anyway so no hope for even trying it.
