For example will there be one file containing font, pictures, and text, similar to a pdf file. Or will fonts, pictures, etc. be seperate files? There are two variants of the OpenDocument format (please notice the name change), one is full self contained, the other one partially. In the first variant, the document itself is a zip file (or so called package). This package contains several XML streams describing the content of the document. Pictures are stored as separate sub documents within the package. Fonts could be stored in the package as well. This variant is full self contained. In the second variant, the full content is stored within a single XML file. Images are included base64 encoded. Embedding fonts within the XML file is not supported, but external files could be referenced. Best regards Michael Brauer OASIS OpenDocument TC chair
