The OLE2 extension isn't a standalone item, nor can I conceive of any
reason
why it would be required for the installation of Pagemaker. That would
suggest that one could not use *Adobe* Pagemaker unless they also have MS
products, which is simply not the case. The only reason I can think of is
that the extension was a part of the Classic versions of Mac OS. I
honestly
can't remember that being the case but I guess it's possible.
I think you may do better in Adobe's Pagemaker forum:

Or in the Apple discussions:
