Well things have moved on since the last documentation update. The docs on the site of course reflect the "production" build and not the development code. . The Word porting effort (HDF) is to begin shortly. I've got a few loose ends to finish tying up. As for Powerpoint, I'd soo like to do Powerpoint but that will be our most difficult effort. M$ is doing their best to disappear all documentation on their file formats. What's worse is anyone who got Powerpoint documentation got a nice pretty NDA to go with it. Whats really humorous is I can find the NDA on the internet but I cannot find the Powerpoint docs. Hopefully all this made sense (Its 4am and I've been working since 10am on POI stuff). Please feel free to ask further questions. I'm subscribed in non digest mode at the moment.
