After examining the formats it is difficult for me to see why DF cannot do the job or if it currently cannot minimal changes would be required for it to do so. A worrying aspect of this is the cost of having multiple ?standard? office formats to deal with in future is far higher than the cost of a section of my computer racking and having to buy different types of light bulbs. Another of Microsoft?s justifications is that they need their own format to handle the way legacy MS-Word (and MS-Excel MS-Powerpoint etc) renders the documents. This is also ridiculous on two counts. The first being that different versions of MS-ffice programs can render the same document differently as can the same version on two different machines depending on what fonts are installed and the like. The second is that the format does not render the document the application does. The only program that can ever render documents created by MS-Word the same way MS-Word did is MS-Word regardless of any underlying format.
