Provide support for open office

[GoogleCodeExporter]

My concern is about the fact that, Java2Word is working fine in MS Office(Word) 
but the document so formed is getting rendered in Open Office in a completely 
different format.

So can you please let me know , how to deal with this situation.

Waiting for reply.

Regards

I am attaching the word file generated along with the code.

Code:
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;

import word.api.interfaces.IDocument;
import word.w2004.Document2004;
import word.w2004.elements.Heading2;

public class Java2Word {
    public static void main (String[] args){
        try{
            File newDocument = new File("C:\\Java2Word.doc");
            PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(newDocument);
            IDocument iDocument = new Document2004();
            iDocument.addEle(Heading2.with("===== Hello World ======").create());
            String text = iDocument.getContent();
            writer.println(text);
            writer.close();
        } catch(IOException ioException){
            ioException.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
} 

Please open this file in OpenOffice.
Regarding my OS: I am using windows XP SP2

Thanks for the reply.

But still I am unable to solve the problem.

So can you please mention the changes in the file I had attached previously, so 
that 
it will open in both MS Office and Open Office.

Waiting for reply.

Hi Arkur881

I thought that by renaming the file to .xml would work fine in openoffice, but 
didn't at all.

You said that in openoffice renders "completely different format". In my case, 
in linux-libreoffice doesn't even open. 

What you mean with "render"? Does it open at least? that's why I asked you to 
attach screen shot of the unwanted result.

I think that all research done by stain.st(issue 4 and issue 16) was in Windows.

I chanced this to a task: "make java2word document be open in MS Word and 
Open(Libre) Office in Windows and Linux"

There are some tweaks to make it open properly and we need to document this 
because even I don't remember after some months. 

I am going on holidays in 2 days, for a month. Depending on the work I won't be 
able to do before the trip...

I need to see the screenshot as I asked ok. Thanks for your collaboration!

cheers

yeah, it opens but doesn't render. I got the same result in Linux with Open and 
Libre Office.

unfortunately I won't be able to solve research this before I go. This research 
would require a lot of time: generate the file, change XML, change extension, 
try different combinations, MS office on Windows, Open Office on Windows/Linux, 
Libre Office in Linux/Windows.  

thanks for your collaboration mate. 

cheers

not yet. There is something to be discovery and modified in the first line I 
guess: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <?mso-application 
progid="Word.Document"?>
We need to find a way to work in both. So still yet to be resolved.

try to rename the file to .xml. 
OpenOffice doesn't like MLWord doc renamed to .doc. 
I am still trying to find a way around.

I renamed file to .xml but it doesn't show any data. Not even xml tags.
Thanks for looking at this. I really liked this library and document looks good 
in MS Word.

get done soon.
