Corel Office to start supporting the OpenDocument format. Wow, what a concept. Okay Microsoft, your turn. it is a standard used by 11 million + people and will continue to increase. MS supporting this is a way for my dream to come true. Create a document in one program and have the ability to open/edit it in a number of others or even in a different OS. We can do that with jpg, txt, csv and many other formats...why must the single most used productivity formats be proprietary? MS still would make a ton of money from corporations that will keep using the standardized MS software, but more and more people will be able to share documents no matter what office software or OS created it.
Smart move, Corel. All we need to do now is have MS embrace this so we will be more unified in our standards.
