Hello all,

I installed the latest Service Pack for Office 2007. I discovered that all of the open document formats are supported, along with .pdf, which means that you can save your document as .doc, .docx, .odt or .pdf from one single menu.

It's pretty interesting that Microsoft has included this.

Yeah I read about it on slashdot. Apparently the support is pretty bad.

Yeah, but it will never be the default for saving files. The average user wont even notice it amongst all the other document formats.
