Talk:WordprocessingML

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

To Warrens could you please be more specific on how are Microsoft Office Open XML and WordprocessingML two different things ? Microsoft is axing all its communication policy on Microsoft Office Open XML, this is the format it intends to submit to ISO. I believe that WordprocessingML is simply the old name. This merge has been suggested for a long time now, this is just WP cleaning. --Khalid hassani 14:29, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

The Office Open XML specification/standard consists of two main parts: Open Packaging Conventions (container/storage format) and a set of markup lanuages (WordprocessingML, SpreadsheetML, ...) for different types of documents.

WordprocessingML and SpreadsheetML are based on the markup languages (of the same name) of Microsoft Office 2003

Unless info about the actual markup language format is added this article is of nu use. hAl 09:12, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
