Office Open XML formatĪlthough support for Office Open XML files (DOCX, XLSX and PPTX), which are archived XML text, has been introduced in Office with the 2007 revision, it is only partial as ISO standardization required support for legacy features, which resulted splitting the format in two: Transitional and Strict. There are different downloads for the 32-bit and 64-bit platforms and following the instructions on the screen should complete the process without any problems. Getting the update on the system is not a difficult job, regardless of the computer knowledge of the user. The documents are opened preserving their original properties but saving them is done in the Transitional format. This type of file is created by Microsoft Office 2013 and using the converter makes them compatible with the earlier revision. Installing the OOXML Strict Converter extends the suite’s capabilities by adding write support for Strict Open XML format. It applies for Microsoft Excel 2010 and Microsoft Word 2010.

OOXML Strict Converter is a small patch for Microsoft Office that adds support for working with Strict Open XML files in version 2010 of the suite.
