Hi, this is the first time that I write in this forum.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO),
has published the Standard ISO/IEC 26300:2006 which ratify that OpenDocument is the Standard format for
the electronical Document.

You could open this document with OpenOffice, StarOffice and others programs... also Microsoft Office should be able to open this document.

Some Italian and European Public Administrations, have decided to follow
this standard for their documents.

For this reason is suitable to have the possibility to create report in this format too.
You could get here the OpenDocument specification.

Will be possible to do report with OpenDocument Format?

Thank you.

Andrea,

This is really something that should be thrown to the Project Managers by opening a case with Tech Support and getting it labelled as a NFR.

It might be already on the cards of course if IB value the European market!

Then again, it might be something that is already covered by existing output formats?

Having just looked at the specification document and actuall looking at it properly, I noticed the date was 1st May 2005, so the chances are that using FORMAT DOC or something already caters for this format?

Will have a look to see.

Hmmm, doesn't look like it, so it will have to be an NFR via Tech Support

Got to say, open standards should be on the radar screen of any company expecting to compete in a global landscape these days, it should not require a NFR to get project managers to recognize the value.

Universities have fought long and hard with Microsoft-centric attitudes in business software. It's a long and frustrating road, but one that eventually yields traction.

Especially when people tire of fighting things like "Vista" and constantly changing Office file formats Smiler
