ODF Add-in for Word 2007
-
The goal for this project is to provide an Add-in to Microsoft Word 2007 to allow opening and saving OpenDocument format (ODF) files. The converter is based on XSL transformations between two XML formats, along with some pre- and post-processing to manage the packaging (zip / unzip), schema incompatibility processings and the integration into Word 2007. We chose to use an Open Source development model that allows developers from all around the world to participate & contribute to the project. Along with the Add-in for Microsoft Word 2007, we also provide a command line translator that allows doing batch conversions. This translator could also be run on the server side for certain scenarios. Catch the same here. Have to admit, some really neat work.
