Free sun odf plugin for microsoft office 2007 download software at UpdateStar - 1,746,000 recognized programs - 5,228,000 known versions - Software News Home. It is also the only option that supports Office 2000. An earlier version of this plugin, originally made available by Sun at no cost for individual use, is still available for download at Softpedia. The ODF Add-in for Microsoft Office is an open source developed under Microsoft sponsorship by several smaller companies.

Sun's OpenDocument conversion plugin for Microsoft Office is now available for download. Released with little fanfare earlier this week, the plugin provides support for reading and writing ODF files in Word, PowerPoint, and Excel.

Version 1.0 supports Microsoft Office 2003, 2000, and XP, but not 2007. According to Sun developer Malte Timmerman, Office 2007 isn't supported yet because it has a document filter API handling bug that causes it to ignore third-party document loading handlers. Timmerman hopes that Microsoft will resolve this bug in an Office 2007 service pack, but says that Sun is prepared to use a workaround if the bug persists.

I tested Sun's plugin with Microsoft Office 2003 on Windows XP, primarily using documents created with OpenOffice on Linux. The plugin installer, which is a 30 MB download, automatically makes Microsoft Office the default program for ODT files (but not ODS or ODP) when OpenOffice isn't installed. The plugin makes it possible to load and save ODT files in Word using the regular file dialogs and toolbar buttons. Users can also set ODT as the default format for Word via the Save tab of the Options dialog. Unlike ODT, ODS and ODP files can't be saved or loaded with regular file dialogs in Powerpoint or Excel. Instead, ODF import and export buttons are available from a toolbar added by the plugin.

When I double-clicked an ODT file after installing the plugin, it automatically launched Microsoft Word and began the conversion process. When opening the first document, the converter displays a splash screen and adds an icon to the system tray. Every single time a user opens an ODT file, Microsoft Word displays the following (very annoying) warning message: 'This file needs to be opened by the ODF Text Document text converter, which may pose a security risk if the file you are opening is a malicious file. Choose Yes to open this file only if you are sure it is from a trusted source.' There doesn't appear to be any way to prevent Word from displaying the warning dialog.

The ODT converter provides relatively good performance and appears to use RTF as an intermediate format. It handles most common formatting better than I had expected. I tested documents with headers, footers, footnotes, drawing elements, bullets, tables, graphics, an automatically generated table of contents, and a various other formatting elements. All of those features appear to be well supported, but drawing elements (like lines, arrows, and circles) were occasionally displayed in the wrong places when loaded into Word. The only other problem I noticed is with font conversion. The plugin doesn't seem to do a very good job handling fonts that aren't available on Windows, and this occasionally causes loss of formatting. The plugin should be able to do a better job of choosing Windows fonts that resemble the fonts used in the original document.

I also tested the plugin with a highly complex ODS file. In Excel, users load ODS files by clicking a special button in a toolbar rather than using the regular Open operation from the File menu. The plugin performs the conversion very, very quickly and the spreadsheet seemed to work properly when loaded. The spreadsheet I used performs a number of sophisticated computations, which still seemed to work when the file was loaded into Excel.

Although Sun's OpenDocument plugin for Microsoft Office works much better than I initially expected, there are still integration weaknesses that are inherent in Office's poor support for third-party file formats. The plugin will be useful for organizations that are attempting to migrate to OpenOffice, but it doesn't really seem like an ideal solution for organizations that wish to use ODF with Microsoft Office on a long-term basis.

The Plug in is easy to setup and use, the conversion happens transparently and the additional memory footprint is minimal. Microsoft Office users now can have seamless two-way conversion of Microsoft Office documents to and from Open Document. The ODF Plug in runs on Microsoft Windows and is available in English. More language support will be available in later releases.

According to the README, this plugin supports Office 2000 as well as XP/2003/2007 - great news as we never wanted/needed to migrate past Office 2000!

This works pretty well for me, it only failed on a couple of very complicated documents with multiple nested tables. But there are a couple of things I'd like to see changed. It needs to have an options dialog so that you can disable the question every time you load or save a file as it gets very annoying, also an option to have it exit from memory when you close Word.

First published on MSDN on Jul 01, 2010 When running NLB as a Virtual Machine (VM) guest using Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V you need to be aware of some specific configurations settings in Hyper-V host prior to configuring NLB. In Hyper-V, the VM host prevents dynamic MAC address updates. Without the IGMP option, NLB uses a locally administered Multicast MAC address with the format 03:BF. Thus this is not an IANA-assingend multicast MAC address (01-00-5E), IGMP snopping cannot avoid the flooding of those frames throughout the entire VLAN, which is the only way a switch can handle such frames. 2006-6-24  For example, if the NLB cluster node were configured with the number three as its priority (unique) number, then it would identify itself to the switch as being MAC address 02-03-c0-a8-02-0b. This allows the switch to happily enter the MAC Address in its table and have a one to one mapping of MAC Addresses to ports. 2012-5-15  Whilst studying for a MS exam and reading up on NLB clustering I came across the following statement about unicast mode in an NLB cluster with one nic: The MAC address created for the virtual network adapter is shared among the participants within the cluster. On single-homed servers (servers. When running Microsoft Network. Mac address lookup. 2019-4-5  The MAC address table for the switch requires static entries that map each port to the NLB Multicast MAC address. IGMP multicast. To use IGMP multicast, the network switches must be capable of IGMP snooping. This mode is basically the same as multicast mode, except that the switches can automatically build their MAC address tables in this mode.

The MCAN converter is awful, but this Sun converter works great with Office 2003 files. Why would anyone want to be locked-in to MS-OOXML files is beyond me.

There is an ODF plugin for 2007 from some other guys. It's a sourceforge project so look around there.
I can't try this since I use 2007 but I want to see ODF spread, so 4/5 for effort. :)

Doesn't support Office 2007. If you're running Office, then 2007 is a MUST, so.. 3 for me!

Passed every document I could throw at it. It only mis-justified a footer in one document, but it was from 1996, when .doc was only a few versions old.
