Open XML Translator for Microsoft Word Available

Posted by Zonk on from the translate-the-night-away dept.

narramissic writes "The first phase of a Microsoft-funded project to create software that can convert Microsoft Word documents between Open XML and Open Document Format (ODF) has been completed. As a result, the Open XML Translator is now available for download in version 1.0 from SourceForge.net. A ComputerWorld article details the history of the project, discussing the work of companies like CleverAge and AztecSoft, as well as community efforts to bring this project to realization."

    "It looks like you're trying to convert to a non-Microsoft proprietary format. I can't let you do that, Dave"
