MS Office XML Format Now In TextEdit

Posted by timothy on from the beating-vs-joining dept.

    I created a Word XML doc, and tried to open it in Pages. I got an error saying:
    The XML document was created with an unsupported beta version of Word.

    The fact that it knew it was a word doc is promising. Looks like Pages will support it too...
