.docx, .xslx, and .pptx files are definitely all OOXML files. However, Microsoft Office also has free-standing XML files that can be produced for Word and Excel documents. These are not OOXML but they are also not .docx, .xslx, and .pptx.
To complicate matters, Microsoft Office does not rely on file extensions alone. It always sniffs inside the file to see what it actually is and it may simply do the right thing. For example, if you have an .rtf file and rename it to .doc, it should still open correctly in Microsoft Office Word. Note, also, that the OOXML Standard does not specify file-name extensions at all. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Gabriela Gibson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, April 29, 2015 09:40 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: ODF document example to apply Peter's style name approach On Wed, Apr 29, 2015 at 5:00 PM, Peter Kelly <[email protected]> wrote: > > On 29 Apr 2015, at 9:46 pm, Gabriela Gibson <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > > It may just be me, but I would not have looked in ooxml for docx > documents, > > but expected to find them in a docx directory.

I had no idea :) The thing is though, when you do a web search for ooxml, the top link (at least in Ireland) is this: " Office Open XML (OOXML) is an XML-based file format used for representing word processing documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. It is conceptually similar to ODF in many respects, though a lot of the details differ.Jul 24, 2014 Office Open XML - Apache OpenOffice Wiki https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Office_Open_XML " So, by that definition, docx is not ooxml and ./dfconvert tells me that: $ ./dfconvert --help Usage: dfconvert get concrete.docx abstract.html Create a new HTML file from a Word document. The HTML file must not already exist. So, that makes me think that we should have docx and ooxml directories, but that docx should not live in ooxml? G
