Is it still true that OD does not work with Open office when using letter merge? I need to reinstall Microsoft Word if Open office will not work. Thought I would ask first. Thanks

They both work if doing a letter merge to multiple patients. Only Word works if doing the merge for a single patient.

Just curious, why is this the case? Libre Office would be such a great partnered solution with OD...

Word has deep support for scripting with VB. OOo does not. Feel free to find me the documentation for producing a single merged letter automatically with OOo. I've never been able to locate such documentation, and I suspect that it's not possible.
