Office 2007 Open XML Format
Subject:	You must register at http://www.clicktoattend.com/?id=118567 in order to be admitted to the building and attend. Open XML is the default document format for the upcoming Office 2007 system. This presentation explores the motivation and design consideration of the new format. It also analyzes the architecture and the conceptual framework of Open XML. This new format opens doors to a huge number of opportunities for developers regardless the development tool or targeted platform. Package API from the new .NET Framework 3.0 is used as an example to demonstrate how to programmatically read/write Open XML documents without resorting to Microsoft Office COM API.
