OpenXML/ODF Translator - OpenXML/ODF Translator Team Blog - Mission Accomplished... OpenXML/ODF Translator Release 2.5 Available on SourceForge!

“Our previous blog entries already described the main features and improvements we’ve included in version 2.5. Thus, we will just summarize the highlights of the new release in this entry.

Common New Features

  • Single MSI installer for all translator add-ins
  • Associating ODF files with the Microsoft Office applications (during installation): This feature allows you to convert and open an ODF file by double-clicking in Explorer.
  • Shortcut from the Windows Start menu to the OpenXML/ODF Translator ReadMe file

…”

If you’re in a mixed MS Office & ODF world this add-in is a must have.

Still I have wonder about this project’s future now that MS Office 2007 is getting ODF baked into it? Maybe MS is taking this and baking it in? From the outside, that would seem to make sense but you never know…
