[Office 2007 Webcast Series] Session #1: Open XML (Information & Resources)

Many thanks to those of you who attended my webcast presentation on Open XML. If you missed it, don't worry; a recording will be available soon.

In the meantime, I encourage you to start examining Open XML. Here is an action plan for your own research & development:

  • Install 2007 Office System; 180-day trial versions available
  • Install compatibility packs for Office applications (if necessary)
  • Start persisting documents in Open XML file format
  • Start envisioning solutions that incorporate Open XML
  • Utilize tools available from Open XML Developer Website

I also wanted to provide some resources where you can find more information about Open XML and some of its related tools:

Stay tuned! Next Tuesday will feature Christian Beauclair who will deliver a session entitled, "Extending the User Interface of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint". Register today!
