Nathan Weinberg | Contributing Writer | 2005-06-02
Microsoft has announced that it will make XML the standard format for all Office programs when it releases Office 12 next year. Microsoft says this will mainly benefit businesses who need to tap into a variety of databases, and will discuss more details at TechEd next week.
The filenames for Word will change from .doc to .docx, while Excel (.xls) becomes .xlsx and Powerpoint (.ppt) will now be .pptx.
