DOCBOOK-APPS: staroffice 6

[Dave Pawson <davep at dpawson dot freeserve dot co dot uk>]

Just installed office 6.

Really disappointed, no 'export as xml' !!!
RTFM :-)

The default .sxw format is zipped xml.
•The text content of the document is located in content.xml. You can view 
this file with, for example, a pure text editor.
By default content.xml without indents is stored at the start of the line 
in order to minimize the time for saving and opening. By choosing Tools - 
Options - Load/Save - General you can change this procedure so that the 
lines are saved with a structured indent.
•meta.xml contains, inter alia, the meta information on the document, which 
you can enter underFile - Properties.
If you save a document with security, only meta.xml is not secured.
•settings.xml contains further information on settings for this document, 
for example on the printer, on the recording of changes, the associated 
data sources and so on.
•In styles.xml you find the Styles defined for the document that can, for 
example, be seen in the Stylist.
•The meta-inf/manifest.xml file describes the structure of the XML file.

example below. Even has the fo namespace!
