Identifying macros in a spreadsheet using LibreOffice Calc?

Is there a way to find out what macros are in a LibreOffice Calc file?
I went to the menu Tools > Macros > Organize Macros, and reviewed all the options, but I am not seeing anything that tells me what macros are in use. Isn't there some way to detect what they are and make changes if desired? It's a file created by someone else, and I have very basic knowledge of spreadsheets.
I could not find the answer in the Help files, which cover creating and organizing macros but do not give instructions on where to look just to see what macros are running in a file.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
Not intended as an answer to the question, but this is what I was talking about in comment on main question.
(Why can't I post an image as a comment???)

Is it possible to have a treeview in Microsoft Word with VBA?

I was looking at software to write novels and stories and they have basically the same organizational format. They have a tree on the side and folders for organizing. Here are some examples:

I have Microsoft Word and being a programmer (among other things), I wondered if there is a way to use VBA controls and create this look and organizational process in Word.
Is there any way to do that? If there is, how would I begin? Or, is this something I need to do standalone?
EDIT: Here is what I am looking for:

Is this possible solely with VBA?
Your question if broken down would be something like this

Unfortunately Word would be a wrong choice if you want that kind of professional Look. If you want a standalone I would recommend creating a CHM (Compiled Help Modules) file. It would look something like one of your Windows Help File.
There are many free software's that can create CHM Files for you. One such link is here.
If you want a really amazing tool (I use the same and unfortunately it is not free) then check out Help and Manual 6
If you still want to do it in word, you will have to use VBA and then use the Treeview Control in a userform. The biggest disadvantage of Treeview is that it is not distributable. To see how to work with Treeview control, see my other reply here.

Data flow visualisation

I'm searching for a program where I can visualize all my data flow. I've made a simple example:
Is there a way how I can visualize all the data. I've found examples of "Prefuse" and "Flare". But there's too much to add to the examples. Isn't there a nice program wich has it all?'
it's preffered when I can connect the data to a database. So the whole process will be automated.
it's preffered when I can collaps/uncollaps the systems and application flow(e.g. when I click on an application, the arrows appear).
I hope someone can help.
you can use Graphviz (http://www.graphviz.org/) for creating the vizualization.
for the database connection, you could use a programming language to generate the input to the graphviz program.
I had this same problematic and used a combination of SAS and Graphviz to solve it.
hope that helps.
