Linux install went well but...

Hello John, thanks for all your hard work on an excellent product.
Today I thought I had at last made my final break with Msoft - the only thing holding me back has been our supporter database.
I installed DM (latest stable release version) on my Linux box (Karmic) under Wine and all went without any hitches or errors whatsoever. Then I exported my ms access data to an xl spreadsheet and imported it straight to DM without any errors at all. Great I thought - "I've done it, I've made the break Hallelujah!
Then I came unstuck. I went to print envelopes. Do you see where I'm going with this? In Linux we don't have ms office and therefore don't have ms word. When I hit the "send envelopes to word for printing" button I get an error of course - no word! Is there any way to make it compatible with OpenOffice?
TIA,
Karl
