[BNM] MS Office Licences

[andrew holway]

The software they are installing
for a company requires MS Office plug-ins to produce mail merges etc. This
company only has OEM licenses which apparently don't let you do this?

I was able to install microsoft plugins without any problems,

Mail merge is a standard office feature. isnt it?
