Hello all, Sorry for the late answer. I must have overlooked this your mail when it was sent. :-( > look like in content xml file most elements for OO forms > not in W3C XForms namespace (in W3C XForms namespace > now only the model element) is it temporary or it will be persistent? Yes, this is intentional. The OASIS OpenDocument format already has a control + form layer, so we were faced with the option to either duplicate all controls, or to bind the existing controls to the XForms model. Simply duplicating would have been rather undesirable (and is generally avoided in the remainder of the format as well), so we chose to embed the XForms model as-is, but to reuse the existing controls. Transforming between those shouldn't be too hard. There are a few differences, but mostly they follow a similar model. (Which is probably due to the fact that both sets of controls were derived from the HTML control set.) > where i can find OpenDocument format description?.. http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=office The format is developed through OASIS, so the documentation (and information on participating or giving feedback) can be found on their site. Follow the link to the specification document. > is it possible furure migration forms to xforms in OO?.. Do you mean migrating existing OOo forms to OOo XForms? That is quite easy, due to the use of the same controls: You only have to bind them to an XForms model. Hope this helps. Sincerely, Daniel
