Free technical seminars for ISVs wanting to know more about the Microsoft Office 2007 Open XML document format

ukpartner — Thu, 15 Mar 2007 20:07:00 GMT

The Microsoft Developer and Platform Group will be hosting two half day technical sessions aimed at Microsoft partners, especially ISVs, focusing on Microsoft Office Open XML, the new document format for Microsoft Office 2007. Theses sessions will cover the new format, and explore how they can be used within applications and systems.

Some potential scenarios include:

Creating multiple, customised documents without automating Microsoft Word
Drop custom data packets direct into Microsoft Excel spreadsheets from a database feed
Swap style and images and text in documents by injecting XML
Archive documents

If you have looked at working with Microsoft Office documents in previous releases, you will be pleased to discover that, based on partner feedback, the new Office XML Formats are compact, robust file formats that enable better data integration between documents and back-end systems. This new format is designed to make it easy for applications to create and manipulate documents, opening up a whole variety of opportunities for applications to integrate document production, archiving, etc.

This session is aimed at Architects, Senior developers and System Designers, and some familiarity with .NET framework is desirable to obtain the most from this event. The day will be a mixture of presentations, demos and discussions, and to keep a small informal atmosphere, the event is constrained to a maximum of 20 people (2 per company), to ensure lots of opportunity for discussion.
