Is it possible to use open office instead of MS Office?

Post by twhitehurst »

When creating a word document in Aware we need to have Word on the server to keep from getting Internal error. Can't get object clsid from progid

Is it possible to use an open source office suite like Open office instead of the MS product?

Aware IM does not support Open Office yet - Open Office does work with Word and Excel documents but their mechanism of working with these files is proprietary, whereas Aware IM uses standard Microsoft-endorsed way of working with Microsoft software - via COM/DCOM.
