WordPerfect Supports ODF
Here comes another office suite supporting the ISO-standard ODF file format!
Corel announces its current beta of WordPerfect Office X3 can open ODF files (not sure if it can save them, but I hope so).
Corel hasn’t committed solely to ODF, but I think over time they’ll find MSOOXML to be a difficult beast (and who knows if it will finally survive at all):
“The move toward more open standards is an exciting and positive development for our industry—but the impending shift in file formats will also create challenges…
Corel has been involved in ODF from its very beginning and possesses a solid reputation for compatibility with Microsoft Office—giving us an unparalleled expertise in file formats which we are dedicated to using in supporting our customers as they address these and other emerging file formats in a risk-free fashion.”
This represents another collection of people to whom you can send ODF files, so go ahead and start attaching them to your emails and websites!
