Description Andre 2014-06-03 06:45:58 UTC 
Create a framework that can be used by all applications to import documents in the OfficeOpenXML (OOXML) format.

See https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Ooxml for more information.

125035: Can now create a validating parser.
Comment 3 Andre 2014-06-10 09:41:38 UTC 
Can now create a validating parser (complex types).

The ValidatingCreator creates one NFA for each complex type and one for the top level elements.  These are then converted to DFAs and minimized.  At the moment this results in 6097 states and 34286 transitions.

Comment 8 Serge 2017-04-12 21:59:49 UTC 
In MSO 2007 and above there are two file extensions for files that support OOXML: .docx and .docm. As far as I know macro support is the only difference between them. .docm is macro enabled document and .docx is not.

For me it is important to know that a document has no macro code inside 
because nowadays macro enabled documents are used to spread malware

If you at last decide to implement docx save/export support in AOO do not forget about 'macro disabled' document format.

P.S.
Is there any ODF based file format I can use to store documents and be sure that there is no macro code inside them?

What is the status of this new OOXML framework? Has it been abandoned?
