> What option, outside of COM, do I have... until this new > version of Office comes out?
I don't know if you have any options, really, beyond the ones Steve enumerated. Even when the new version of Office comes out, it's not like everyone's going to upgrade to it immediately (or even at all). > Will Office 11 be open as web services? According to what I've read, Office 11 will use its own XML language as its native file format, so you could use any tools that can work with XML to generate Office documents. > Is that why COM is evaporating? No, I don't think so. I think COM is "evaporating" because Microsoft now has something better.
