Where can I download an open-document format add-in for Office 2004for Mac?

There is no such add-in, sorry. For the time being, you will need to use an
application that can read ODF files, such as OpenOffice, NeoOffice, or even
TextEdit (in Leopard), and save the files in a format that can be understood
by Mac Office.

Hi Michel:

I Think he was.

There's an ODF converter for PC Word, but not Mac Word (not yet).

The Microsoft format is known as OOXML.

There is a lot of "political" and "religious" argument about the two
formats.

The bottom line is that ODF is not powerful enough to describe Microsoft
Office files. You "can" down-grade a Microsoft document to ODF, but when
you do, you will strip out various components of the content.

Cheers


Oh, so this was meant by Open Document Format. I assumed the OP was talking
about ODF, the open document format developed by Sun Microsystems and the
Open Source community.
