Apple is looking out for its customers i guess, i would prefer an apple made app, kind of like office for mac but with apple twist, because so MS wont milk mac users.

I can also confirm that Leopard’s TextEdit does indeed have these new compatibility features. I have only have tested OpenDocument so far (I’m not the developer/not my machine, and didn’t have any docx files to test with at the time). TextEdit Preferences, also lists a “grammar checker” if I recall correctly, but didn’t seem to be working.

That’s awesome. I can think of a bunch of ways that’ll be really convenient.

It’s very easy to support the new MS Word XML files. There a lot of web pages that convert your .docx file to text with simple php script, so yes probably it’s true.

More recent releases have simplified the menu somewhat, but the support is still there.

I can confirm it as well. I’ve never noticed it before… and both the Microsoft Word 2007 and Microsoft Word 2007 Beta 2 selections save out as .docx

This is from the original WWDC release of leopard too.
