Microsoft details their plan on supporting Open Document Format
Microsoft has now released some details on how they aim to support the Open Document Format in their MS Office suite.
The company aims to bring support for ODF file formats through the Office 2007 Service Pack 2, which is still in beta.
Microsoft aims to deliver this service pack sometime next year.
Supporting this file format standard is important for the company to help expand the support and pacify their customers who want the file formats to be universally acceptable.
Doug Mahugh, a project manager at Microsoft said in a statement: “To get there, we found that it was not just sufficient to conform to a standard. We needed transparency about all the design decisions involved in getting to that standard…it was a way of pulling together lot of the things we were doing in interoperability.”
