Starting with Microsoft Office 2007 (SP3 I think), Microsoft Office will open ODF 1.1 .odt, .ods, and .odp files. Also, the Microsoft Office on the Web (using OneDrive) and Microsoft OneDrive will take uploads of .odt, .ods, and .odp files. I have opened such files using the Microsoft Office Web applications in my browser.
Each version is better than the next at handling ODF files. ODF 1.2 support appeared in Microsoft Office 2013. I am told that Microsoft Office 2016, now available as a trial application has further improvements. Note that Microsoft Office targets compatibility with the ODF specifications. That is not the same as compatibility with the OpenOffice support for ODF, so it is necessary to experiment. There are differences in the features each supports and also in implementation-defined and implementation-dependent handling of options as permitted by the ODF specifications. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Dale Erwin [mailto:dale.er...@casaerwin.org] Sent: Saturday, September 19, 2015 08:34 To: users@openoffice.apache.org Subject: Re: To delete Open Office [ ... ] Just wondering... can MS Office open .odt and other open document files?
