their customers. In any case, you bring up a good point. Of course, I

ISO-standard Open Document Format. The ODF Plug in is available as a
free download from the Sun Download Center (SDLC). Download the ODF Plug in.
The Plug in is easy to setup and use, the conversion happens

Office documents to and from Open Document. The ODF Plug in runs on
Microsoft Windows and is available in English. More language support
will be available in later releases.
The plug-in allows Microsoft Office (for Windows) users to open ODF
files and save their work in ODF formats used by OpenOffice, StarOffice,
and other programs. According to the ReadMe, the plug-in adds "ODF Text
Document (*.odt)" as a format to Word's Open and Save dialogs and adds
Import and Export options to Excel and PowerPoint."
