Re: [tdf-discuss] Help vendor-lock-in awareness

Isn't there a standard Office Open XML Document Format?
What is the difference between office open xml and standard microsoft docx
formats in LibreOffice and why does LibreOffice include both?
is there also a link where I can read about this... the only think I have
found useful is what open xml is.
