This issue is to be opened forever. Please do not close. It always applies to the next version. Provide specs for Microsoft Office next version's file formats so we can implement them. Please pay the royalty needed to access them, the price of using them. Please provide signed agreement from Microsoft there there are no patents pending etc. Thanks.

From the developer's preview White Paper published on the Preview Site: The Microsoft Office Open "...XML Formats are based on XML and ZIP technologies, thereby making them universally accessible. The specification for the formats and schemas will be published and made available under the same royalty-free license that exists today for the Microsoft Office 2003 Reference Schemas and which is openly offered and available for broad industry use."

The developers should integrate it in OOo (if possible)
computerhotline: not possible because the specs are not available. Can you provide them legally? Can we implement that legally? Sentences like "The developers should integrate it in OOo (if possible)" are completely useless.
Oh, sorry if I have chocked you

Clarification: this issue was filed with big irony in mind. See issues marked as duplicates...

You are all talking about "current" format. This issue is about *NEXT* version of the format. Ie. always the one that does not exist yet. This is to prevent utomo filing new issue every other days Microsoft does something ugly...
False! Why do you name a format as current that does not used in final product before? MSO2007's format is currently next until the sw is not released, isn't it? O2K7 will be current if O2K7 was released.

OK, OOXML is the *current* format of MO. As we do not know what will be the *next* format, lets close this issue. Once we know (at least the name of it) the next format, we can again reopen this 8)
Closing. I hope that everyoen got it. It was joke... 8)
Well, except that all the *legitimate* Issues opened on Office 2007 support seem to have been closed as duplicates of this one. What are the real Issue #s for MS Office 2007 support?
