Maybe it is time to consider using a different product. From,
<http://www.networkworld.com/community/blog/oracle-proposes-openofficeorg-apache-incubato>
Oracle proposes OpenOffice.org to Apache Incubator. OO was never more
than a poor clone of MS Office 97 anyway. LibreOffice is a possibility. 

Arguably the biggest additions to Microsoft Office in recent years have
been OneNote, the fantastically useful note taking application, and
SharePoint Workspace which allows collaborative working.

Sadly, there's just nothing like either in LibreOffice 3.3. It's a
release that would have been stunning in 2000, but is now slightly
anachronistic and dull. However; depending on your individual needs, it
might just fit the bill for you. Plus, it is in the ports system:

	Port:   libreoffice-3.3.2
	Path:   /usr/ports/editors/libreoffice
	Info:   Full integrated office productivity suite
