Editing external docs

In the past my Notes databases created and managed Word documents (both Word and Open Office) under Windows.Now I would the same functionality in Mac 8.5 client.

Any way?

thanks

Subject: theoretically…

…the answer should be in a few code lines:

Set objServiceManager = CreateObject(“com.sun.star.ServiceManager”)

Set objDesktop = objServiceManager.createInstance(“com.sun.star.frame.Desktop”)

Set objDocument = objDesktop.loadComponentFromURL(“private:factory/swriter”, “_blank”, 0, args)

that work very well with client 8.5 and WINDOWS.

Client 8.5 for Mac (Symphony doesn’t come embedded) rises error 180:

“Operation not supported on this platform”.

Dear IBM,

as usual Mac users come later?
