ODF support in Office

  • [アーティクル]

I took a few weeks off recently, which is why my blog has been fairly inactive the past month. I wanted to take a quick moment to point out some big news that's been in the works for some time now. Today we announced a number of developments in the document formats arena. Doug Mahugh has all the information up on his blog: https://blogs.msdn.com/dmahugh/archive/2008/05/21/office-support-for-document-format-standards.aspx

The key bit of news that I think many folks will find surprising, but is actually fairly consistent with the direction we've been heading the past couple years is that we will provide updates to Office 2007 to include native ODF support. This will allow folks to read and write ODF files, and even set ODF as the default format if that's something they choose to do. Here's a screenshot from Doug's blog:

    What odd news! But it leaves me wondering-- Since it is at present impossible to represent all content in Office documents in ODF files (unless one employs application-specific extensions and/or sacrifices semantics and structure), will you be updating the compatibility checker for use with ODF? Also, how complete with the ODF support be? Will it follow the standard in its entirety or confine itself to implementing a commonly used subset and/or mimicking the behavior of current ODF software, even when said behavior conflicts with the standard? (I.E., will Office place a priority on sticking to the standard or making sure that users' files do not look "broken?") Finally, does this announcement have any bearing on standards referred to by ODF? Will we as a corollary see SVG and better HTML support, e.g., in Word?

    [quote](One question I have is whether Adobe will throw a fit regarding the addition of built-in PDF and XPS support.[/quote] Adobe put the format up for ISO standardization. That makes it much easier for others to freely implement without Adobe having any influence over it anymore. Also it is very easy for MS to implement as they already had plugin for doing so.

    Will the ODF saving functionality be based on de open source ODF translator or on any software contributed by Novell ?

    Almost unbelievable news, but this is great to hear- the sooner the better! What about Mac Office?

    Good news, Brian Congratulations.  I hope that this be a sincerely effort toward openness and fair competition , and not just a "hey, guys [brian to office developers], just put a new icon in the save as dialog and call the Clever Age stuff when some clicks on it" ... but a really native support aimed to achieve fidelity and interoperability in office documents formats ( the ODF TC guys are working toward test cases , reference implementations , etc, so, keep in touch there :-). But for now, again, congratulations
