Top posting. I was of course talking about Office Open XML, also known as OpenXML or OOXML developed by Microsoft and adopted by ECMA International as ECMA-376 in 2006. I've mostly seen ODF for the OpenOffice.org XML file

[Noob] Code question

RE: Which source files in release?

I lost the thread somewhere, and I want to comment on a remark about who signs packages in the release candidates. I think there is a "requirement", or probably just an assumption, that the source package be signed by the Release Manager, so if you want to check the package and then

RE: In regards to Open Office

I think the observation was that ODF was not designed with interoperability with Microsoft in mind. In fact, that case was officially excluded, although the work on OpenFormula in ODF 1.2 was designed to accommodate Excel and had participation of Microsoft experts. The folklore about all of

Bugzilla and User generated content

+1 Rory's point is all that matters. The user wants to know how things will work *now* in choosing between different products. Hypotheticals and speculations about format standards are not useful. (I've worked on both OOXML and ODF specifications and I know from direct knowledge how

Hi Bill, According to the german Linux Magazin 09/16 which has tested the import capabilities of Apache OpenOffice, LibreOffice, softmaker office and WPS, it depends on your documents. For Apache OpenOffice I found the following: If you consider the operating system, too. You should make sure

Top posting. In fact, I came to OOo in 2006 because I used to use MS Word to compile data and one day a file got corrupted for an unknown reason. I discovered that there was no way to recover the file because it was proprietary. I think that at that time the .doc format was not disclosed yet

You guys now lost me. A file should have a consistent state independent of the implementation of the writing software. And we should take care that our implementation leads to the same positioning on the paper. The tool that is able to read what is on the market or the next big thing wins the

Updates

I am using open office 4.1.2 and I love this product very much. How do I automatically or manually update any and all new versions that may come in the future? Will I be notified by open office? What steps do I need to take to do any updates, as I want to insure I am using the latest version at

Re: In regards to Open Office

Yes it can. Beware that OOXML was not designed to be compatible with anything else than MS Office. So once you switch to Apache OpenOffice, save in native format (.odt for text). MS Office can read that (even if it does not always to a very good job at it). AOO can't save in OOXML but AOO can
