Re: question concerning OpenOffice.org files

[David Neeley <dbneeley -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Jim,

OpenOffice has its own office file format...a combination of XML files
that is then zipped and given their file endings. (This is a published
format that is the basis for the work being done on a standard XML
office format; OpenOffice will modify its internal format to match the
eventual standard.

That said, it can export and import a variety of formats; Word .doc
and .rtf, for example.

OpenOffice can also export DocBook XML, which Frame should be able to
import with little if any problem (although I have not tried,
personally). Otherwise, you would probably do best when authoring for
import into Frame to save files as .rtf and use the usual methods for
doing the import.
