Brazil is to appeal the International Organisation for Standardisation decision to ratify Microsoft Office Open XML, now known as ISO/IEC DIS 29500.
The bid to fast track Office Open XML as an ISO-certified standard has received a setback, with ISO member Brazil casting a 'No' vote.
The US State of Massachusetts has avoided a format war, and will use both OpenDocument Format and Microsoft's rival Office Open XML document format across its agencies.
Twenty-two organisations across 60 countries are taking part in DocumentFreedomDay (DFD) to raise awareness about what happens when formats are no longer supported by proprietary software.
Microsoft is making it easier to access the technical documentation for its older Office binary document formats and will sponsor an open source project to map those binary formats to Open XML.
