[Vtigercrm-developers] Office 2007 Plugin ?

[Daud Sweetland]

Hi Bret thanks for the tip re Office 2007 licenses. Unfortunately for
us  even the mail merge does not work in 2007 so we cannot use those
machines at all ! So until there is some news re the 2007 plug in we
will have to stick to 2003.
BTW I Dont suppose that the source code for the 2003 plug in is
available at all does anyone know?
Thanks
Daud
