cannot read or use any of the other elements. The program you were referring
to probably uses programming features to manipulate the Microsoft products,
e.g. mail merge product announcements, invoices, late payment notices, or
anything along those lines. All those programming features would be designed
to work specifically with the Microsoft products. So NO it is not likely
that OpenOffice will work with .... Business Manager.

You probably should ask the product's publisher if it works with OpenOffice
anyway. I don't know the program and my presumptions above may be wrong. The
product's vendors certainly could, and probably would if enough customers
ask, add features to make it work with OpenOffice. Why don't you ask them to
add that capability?
