Yeah, at one point it was called the Open OpenOffice Format - or the OASIS Open Office Format... ODF is the best way to shorten it. Otherwise it's called the OpenDocument Format. But, for reasons demonstrated by this thread - calling it "OpenDoc" (sic) is to be avoided. And I did notice that one of the links called it the "OpenDoc" - again, that's not accurate. -- - Chad Smith http://www.gimpshop.net/ Because everyone loves free software!
