Writely Embraces the OpenDocument Movement









"The Web Word Processor" Now Supports Both Microsoft Word and OpenOffice.org Document Formats


PORTOLA VALLEY, Calif. - November 21, 2005 - Writely (www.writely.com (http://www.writely.com/)), The Web Word Processor, today released support for OpenDocument Format (ODF), the open standard document format backed by Sun Microsystems, IBM and Adobe. Starting today, Writely users can upload documents into Writely from Microsoft Word and Sun Microsystems' OpenOffice.org, as well as save the documents back into either of those formats. Sun and Google announced last month their intention to explore jointly enhancing and promoting OpenOffice.org.

Nice! :)
Pretty cool indeed. I wonder how good the compatibility with .doc is.

I hope they will make Opera support though ..
