Hi,

You can check out the MSDN documentation at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa338205.aspx

Then write your own libraries.  I have posted something similar for
OpenDocument Format here:
http://speeves.erikin.com/2008/08/coldfusion-opendocument-format-starter.html
http://speeves.erikin.com/2008/08/coldfusion-opendiocument-format-add.html

These are very basic, but give you an idea on how to work with a similar
format.  The interesting thing, (to me), with OpenDocument Format, is that
you can use jodconverter and transform the docs into most formats, (anything
that OpenOffice can do).

Let us know how it goes for you, as we need more documentation on handling
these formats.

thanks,
speeves
