Microsoft Corp. today unveiled projects to improve data portability between Office 2007 and other document file formats, including the design of a new translator for exchanging OOXML (Office Open XML) and HTML documents.
The company also posted the 1.0 version of technical documentation for protocols in Office and other software that enable those applications to interact with third-party programs.
The moves are part of an interoperability initiative that Microsoft launched in February under pressure from an ongoing antitrust case in the European Union and competition from Linux and open-source software.
