People Implementing Ecma Office Open XML

  • Article

Over on Rod's blog the comments wage on and there is another common question popping up - 'no one can implement this standard other than Microsoft'.

Luckily this is not true - we even have people in NZ who have used it to render documents and build solutions. 

Implementing the entire standard is not easy - you need to build a fully featured productivity suite however - and that's why the standard is quite detailed.  however many, many other vendors have already implemented Open XML. 

If you want to get started and se how easy it can be just pop over to this page for a great guide with (very) short example of how to do it.
