Visioo-Writer

A lightweight SXW and ODT file reader.

If they send you a document in SXW or ODT format, it is probable that you won't be able to open them if you don't have OpenOffice.org on your computer.

  These are open source standards used by this office suite and the OpenDocument project, that tries to standardize the same format for all the office applications (text processors, spreadsheets,...) developed with open source.

  Visioo-Writer is a document viewer developed for those people that don't have OpenOffice.org or other similar applications installed on their PC, and find themselves in the position in which they have to open a document that is save in one of the two aforementioned formats.

  Written in Python, the program is capable of opening all kinds of SXW and ODT documents. What's more, it contributes the metadata of the author, language, date or number of words used, and allows to export the text that the document contains to .txt format. Logically, we will also be able to access the text with the classic copy and paste method.

  If we have an office suite and we don't want to install more programs or we simply don't have a lot of space on the hard drive, Visioo-Writer will allow us to access one of the document formats the use of which grows as the amount of open source software followers increases.

  A sober and simple tool that makes is easier to access the OpenOffice.org and OpenDocument standards, without having to install any application that occupies a lot of space.
