Actually OpenOffice 2.4 produces ODF v1.1 wich is actually not an ISO/IEC ratified version because it was never sumitted to ISO

it certainly wouldnt be word 2007! if i ever figure out where exactly in the "ribbon" the save document button is, i can guarantee you it won't support ODF!

@ recovery

So OO.o 2.4 produces valid ODF 1.0 documents? And how long after ISO approved ODF 1.0 did it take for OO.o 2.4 to be released? Seems that OOXML critics should give Microsoft at least that much time to get MS Office into compliance with ISO OOXML.

BTW, if South Africa will be using OO.o 2.4 to produce ODF 1.0 documents, I still have to wonder what software they will use to create spreadsheets with forumlas, since ODF 1.0 has no spec for that, and using forumlas in OO.o 2.4 to create such spreadsheets ends up creating spreadsheets that aren't valid ODF 1.0 documents by definition.

Once again, Rob Weir has taken the time to thoroughly explain the technical details while others simply jump up and down shouting "OOH, OOH, OOH! Look what I've found!" when they see something that suits their argument.

And Doug, I think Rob answers your question about South Africa quite plainly.

Welcome. I was check .odt file what was create in 2.3 and 2.4.Document generate in 2.4 is compatible with OF 1.0. Answer for your question "what software will they use in South Africa to create ODF documents?" it is OpenOffice 2.4

OpenOffice 2.4 seems to generate valid ODF 1.0 document.

Thank you for pointing out that conformance weaknesses exist in ODF implementations as well. Constructive criticism helps all parties, and should not be biased towards selected segments of the marketplace.

> what software will they use in South Africa to create ODF documents?

Maybe KOffice? They seem to be going in the right direction with quite clear intentions of being real Open and unlike OpenOffice they share their ODF support library.
