OpenOffice Writer document format is supported since XFRX version 11.2. Since 12.0, the Writer and Calc outputs are supported, both of which can be generated either using the absolute or flow layout formats (please see chapter Flow layout document option on page 28 for more information about the flow layout options).
OpenOffice is using the OASIS Open Document Format (ODF) for Office Applications, which is also supported by a variety of other office applications including StarOffice, KOffice, and IBM Workplace.
XFRX generates the file formats natively, so OpenOffice doesn’t have to be installed on the computer where the document is generated.
You can find more information about the OASIS Open Document Format at
