Abstract
Recent versions of office suites are using new XML-based formats. OpenOffice.org and GoogleDocs, for example, use the Open Document Format (ODF) and Microsoft Office 2007 uses Office Open XML (OOXML). Both formats have now been accepted as international standards. This article outlines the history of the process that has left us with two functionally similar, but not fully compatible document formats.
