It is not that OOo (OpenOffice.org) cannot (would not be able to) do this. It is that Wasp have developed their software to integrate with MS Office only. The technical differences between the MS and OOo software code would require Wasp to rewrite their program to integrate with OOo. To be fully OOo compliant Wasp would also need to rewrite their program in a cross-platform (run on other operating systems eg. Solaris, Linux, Mac) format, not just MS Windows. While not the solution you are looking for, it is possible to create barcodes in OOo documents using barcode fonts. Hope this helps.
