Reviewer: Daniel Carrera

Review method: I couldn't test this product because it doesn't seem to work on Ubuntu Linux. The information here is based on their their website and feedback from Don Harbison from IBM. This demo shows it saving an ODF presentation.

We expect that support is probably very complete, but we haven't been able to test yet.

Version: 2.6

Comments

Although Workplace is based on OpenOffice.org, OpenDocument support is developed independently because Workplace uses a version of OpenOffice.org prior to 2.0.
