Hi Greg,
There are a few similar articles floating around the web similar to this: http://www.itwriting.com/blog/8859-coding-microsoft-office-cross-platform.html That’s how they do it.. C/C++, and an architecture that’s developed specifically for this. Ed.

How on earth did the Microsoft developers get the apps to run on all those platforms?! It's inconceivable that there could be much of a common code base, so it must be a mind-boggling technical and logistical challenge to support all those platforms. Anyone have inside info on this? Note that the Office 365 installer doesn't let you chose components, so I have Outlook, OneNote and Publisher despite that fact that I will never ever open them. Also note that Visio is not included. I was forced to uninstall my Visio 2013 32-bit version before installing Office 365, and now I would be forced to pay $21/month to add it to the suite (which is twice the cost of the suite). I'll have to install Visio 2013 in a VM. Greg
