ERM DOORS Shall support Office 365 C2R installations along with MSI installations

Many organisations now use Office 365 C2R 

Click-To-Run differs from 'classic installations (of Word)", in a number of ways, including how COM / OLE automation endpoints interact with Office / Word to create documents via OLE automation (passing VBA to Word from DXL via COM and data in Richtext via clipboard - to Word).

The DOORS exporter currently supports the classic Word/Office MSI installation but there are many differences between this and Office 365 C2R.
