| Corel WordPerfect Office to Support ODF and OOXML Corel says that Corel WordPerfect Office will be updated to support new XML-based file formats, the OASIS Open Document Format (ODF) and Microsoft Office Open XML (OOXML). Beginning in mid 2007, Corel will provide open, view and edit support for OOXML and ODF as a first step towards a comprehensive set of functionality for both formats. Supporting both ODF and OOXML places Corel in a unique format-neutral position, independent of Microsoft, Adobe and other vendors' efforts to propagate their respective standards. This format-neutral approach allows Corel to focus directly on addressing the needs of customers, whose adoption choices will determine which formats will become most relevant. Corel is the only vendor to take such an approach. As part of its ongoing commitment to standards, Corel will continue to engage with the ODF community and to encourage the adoption of open standards. Corel is a member of OASIS and the ODF Alliance and one of its developers was among the original authors of the OASIS Open Document Format specification. Corel WordPerfect Office X3 is an alternative to Microsoft Office, and the world's only office suite to import, edit and export PDF word processing documents. Corel WordPerfect Office also offers powerful and scalable XML capabilities and XML publishing has formed an integral component of the suite since 1999. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
