What does "OPA" stand for?

[Bill Bradley]

Dumb question. I know what they are USED for, just don't know what the
acronym stands for.

Thanks.

Yeah, I looked there, first...<G>

I guess I should specify...refering to Microsoft Office, what does OPA (the
files used to get customizations for install files from, similar to ADM files
for GPO use) stand for?

Thanks.

I know what they are USED for, just wondered what the extension was named
for. You know, like MSI = MicroSoft Installer, ADM = Administrative
Template, etc., so...OPA = ??

Thanks.

Only one hit on Google, and, seems to have to do with graphics.

Thanks.

I'm not sure in this context but my guess is either Office Productivity Apps
or Online Product Activation.
