<section><title>Office Open XML Support</title>
|
||||||
|
<p>We are currently working to support the new Office Open XML
|
||||||
|
file formats, such as XLSX and PPTX, which were introduced in
|
||||||
|
Office 2007.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>Support for these is currently only available in an svn branch,
|
||||||
|
but we hope to have a full release including it by the summer.
|
||||||
|
People interested should follow the
|
