Support XML/OASIS/OpenOffice file formats

[Pollie_Xmas]

Hallo,

Can you please tell me when you are going to provide OASIS or XML support in
your Office Suite?

Being part of an international group of organisations we have decided to
standardise on the European standard for document exchange, OASIS/OpenOffice.

If I cannot get this functionality in MS Office, I will be forced to convert
to OpenOffice Suite.

Looking forward to a favourable response.

Thank you

Paul

Office 2003 currently incorporates XML support and file formats for Word and
Excel. You'll find a lot of information on this on microsoft.com, both in the
Office area, as well as on msdn.

Office 12 (the next version that isn't in beta yet) will extend the support.
