Freeland Access Point software - MS word Macro convert to OO

I am a systems administrator for a Heart Clinic, and we use a piece of software called Freeland Dicom. Part of that software is something called, Access Point which allows users to pull up our ECHO images. There are two MS .dot files that add macros so that when you pull up word it adds a toolbar with buttons for properties and a button sign (some others as well) a report being created in the word document. I really don't know much about VBA or Basic but i would be willing to learn if i could be able to convert the code over to work in OO.o. Since i know nothing about VBA i'm hoping that maybe someone that does would be kind enough to take a look at the files i've attached to let me know if they think it would be possible to convert the code.
Neither contain that much code, maybe half a page at most.
Thank you,
-Jonathan

I don't believe that the code in the 2 templates represents the whole add-on. Did you try the templates with MSOffice where "Access Point" is not istalled?
Someone decided to use Microsoft Office with add-ons and now you are stuck with it. Same issue as with any other customized software.

I hadn't tried putting them there until you mentioned something about it. So i tested it out on one of the PC's i have sitting here and it did display the toolbar but the buttons did not work, which is to be expected. So i would say that those two files do control the toolbar. FYI in order for it to work i do put both those files in the following path of MS Office, C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\STARTUP, OFFICE11 being the office version you work with. Side question, if i was able to convert the code to have this work is there a similar folder to place the .dot files in for OO.o?
