Description Markus Mohrhard 2015-08-17 17:29:36 UTC 
Currently the VBA export is developed in the feature/vba-export branch. However the current export is quite limited and we only support normal code modules and the basic VBA structure.

This task would be about implementing the password protection for the VBA export. The related part in the VBA specification (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/cc313094%28v=office.12%29.aspx) is section 2.4.3.

The current export code is in oox/source/ole/vbaexport.cxx

Could someone update the requirements for this hack and maybe explain a little bit more for what needs to be done
