I believe the OOXML specification is pretty vague, consisting of tonnes of pages, and ODF is more standard,IIRC it also contains the likes of "do this in the same way as XYZ program".shorter and concise. Even so, Office (2007 I think) doesn't handle ODF well.There is a Sun (probably now rebranded as Oracle) addon to enable MS Office to handle ODF files. Not sure how well this works since I rarely use MS Office, it's not even installed on most of the machines I regularly use.
I believe as soon as Oracle took over they started charging for it. Shame as it wasn't too bad.
