Office 2007/2010 Document Plug-in for ExamDiff Pro

The new OOXML2Txt plug-in for ExamDiff Pro allows you to compare Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents created in the OpenXML format used by Office 2007 or later (in the case of Word and PowerPoint, documents are converted into plain text for comparison, and in the case of Excel, documents are converted into comma-separated format). As with other plug-ins, OOXML2Txt only extracts text, so graphical elements such as images and text formatting are not included in comparison.

OOXML2Txt is included in ExamDiff Pro 5.5 Beta. You can also install OOXML2Txt for older versions of ExamDiff Pro. However, if you are using an older (pre-5.5) version of ExamDiff Pro and you have the Unzip plug-in installed as well, you may need to remove the OpenXML name filters "*.docx,*.docm,*.dotx,*.dotm,*.xlsx,*.xlsm,*.xltx,*.xltm, *.xlam,*.pptx,*.pptm,*.potx,*.potm,*.ppam,*.ppsx,*.ppsm" from Unzip (the default behavior for previous versions of ExamDiff Pro was to use the Unzip plug-in on OpenXML files).
