SELaplana >> Technology >> Microsoft to Add Support for the Open Document

Finally, Microsoft realized the need to support the ODF (Open Document Format), which most of the establishment who don’t want to spend money for the licensed Microsoft Office, use.

Microsoft is opening up Office to other file formats, slowly but steadily.

On Wednesday, the company said it plans to add new formats to Office 2007, including the Open Document Format (ODF), Portable Document Format (PDF), and XML Paper Specification (XPS). The new formats will be added to Office as part of Service Pack 2 for Office 2007, due in the first half of next year.

ODF, a rival document format to Office’s native format, has become popular with governments and schools. Microsoft, acknowledging requests for compatibility with ODF, released a converter to allow Word users to open documents saved in the OpenDocument format. (source)

It’s a good news for some internet cafes who are using Open Office. Users can now edit at home with the MS office installed at their PC, the files created in cafes with Open Office.
