OpenOffice.org / ODF Support in SAP Software
,----[ Quote ]
| Due to my past involvement in OpenOffice.org and ODF, I was curious to find
| out if and where the SAP products already support the ISO standard
| OpenDocument Format. I was happily surprised when I found out that ODF is
| already supported by the SAP List Viewer component (also known as the ABAP
| List Viewer or ALV), which is used many many times in all kinds of areas for
| displaying tabular data in a grid. The SAP List Viewer component allows
| exporting to ODF spreadsheet files in addition to Microsoft Excel files. This
| feature is available on systems with release numbers 6.40 and higher and
| works for all 3 members of the SAP GUI family including the SAP GUI for Java.

Also new (from Charles-H S): "Adobe’s sequel to Buzzword, the most elegant
online word processor, is not just fully integrated into Adobe’s latest online
services. It does export to ODF!"

Microsoft: 'ODF Has Clearly Won'
,----[ Quote ]
| The battle between the OpenDocument Format and Microsoft's Open Office XML
| was long, and here and there rather nasty, but it appears as if we finally
| have a winner. The company behind OOXML already conceded by announcing it
| would implement support for ODF in Office 2007 SP2, but now it has also said
| it quite literally: ODF has won.
