I just thought it was talking about generating office documents -
since it was talking about using office automation. I didn't read it
all that carefully. I was just commenting, it's easier to just generate
WordML if you going to be dealing with office 2003/7.
And as for what apps? Mine for one - since it takes WordML and converts
it to a XAML FlowDocument for use in WPF applicaitons.

I don't know really, haven't tested it. But, OOo list's it as a
supported document type.
