The ISO/IEC IS 29500 Office Open XML file format is an international, open standard for word processing documents, presentations, and spreadsheets that can be freely implemented by multiple applications on multiple platforms.
On April 2, 2008, it received the necessary number of votes for approval as an International Organization for Standardization / International Electrotechnical Commission (ISO/IEC) International Standard.
Since then, Open XML has gained broad adoption by governments as a national document standard, as well as by the software industry for use on a variety of platforms—including Linux, Windows, Mac OS, and Palm OS.
Hundreds of independent software vendors and platform providers around the world — such as Apple Inc., Corel Corp., Sun Microsystems Inc., Microsoft, and Novell Inc. — have developed solutions with Open XML that offer real value for IT users around the globe.
