XML Hacks: Unravel the OpenOffice File Format

Overview OpenOffice (http://www.openoffice.org) is a suite of free, multiplatform, open source applications for the desktop, sponsored by Sun Microsystems (http://wwws.sun.com/software/star/openoffice/). The suite includes text-editor, spreadsheet, drawing, and presentation applications, each of which uses an XML-based file format. Each file is saved as a collection of XML documents and stored in a ZIP archive. (You can also save documents in other formats, such as text, Rich Text Format, or HTML. You can also export a document as PDF.) The specification of the OpenOffice XML file format is being maintained by an OASIS technical committee (http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home. php?wg_abbrev=office).
