Interesting... I've just tested the rtf spec in docx (Word2007RTFSpec9.docx): <http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=DD422B8D-FF06-4207-B476-6B5396A18A2B&displaylang=en> <http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=DD422B8D-FF06-4207-B476-6B5396A18A2B&displaylang=en#filelist> In both 3.0Beta (linux) and Go-oo 2.4 (Windows)[1] and find that the 3.0Beta does a rather nice job. Go-oo doesn't convert the tables properly, 3.0Beta does. On the otherhand, Go-oo renders the page 1 graphic just fine, 3.0Beta does not. It's easy to compare the two as I've two systems & monitors running side-by-side, so I can scroll through each page on both. Of particular interest is the table following the "Units" section only renders as text, but in 3.0Beta it renders as a proper table. So I'm not sure what happened with Neil McAllister's document (I note he didn't include a sample), but the above sample (Word2007RTFSpec9.docx) opens just fine (albeit a little slow) in 3.0Beta for me & appears identical to the 11MB Word2007RTFSpec9.doc file. I suppose like anything else docx related, there will always be some differences between systems, apps (even MS apps), and converters, even if MS actually do eventually get their Open XML "standard" fully published.
