Virtual Windows - problems

I'm using BSP with Windows XP in VirtualBox machine in MacOS. This creates (not) a few problems:
1. I use OpenOffice as text editor and it doesn't seem to support BSP macros; consequently I lose valuaable ability to shoot references into text. I try notes module, but when I 'insert temporary reference' I get error message:

table notes_main_Field: 'web capture' not found.

2. My attachments seem no longer to be stuck to my references; this even though my attachments are relative (i.e. as a subfolder under my bsl folder), and the drive is mapped such that bsp can locate 'my bsl' at startup.

Apologies for not expressing these problems clearly. Help appreciated.

2. This may have something to do with the virtual machine. When you click the attachment icon, does the associated program launch?
