I do not think the older .doc format is an ISO standard.
But wasn't Microsoft forced to make the document format for Office97 public? I've always thought that was the whole reason for openoffice to be able to deal with MS Office documents at all.
The newer XML format (.docx) is a based on a standard.
Right - I don't get a lot of MS docs, but I know I have started seeing more and more .docx and .xlsx formats in email.
But I bet there is lots of room for interpretation.
No doubt about that - I'm sure the standards describe the data formats, not how they should be rendered visually. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (13.9°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
