This screenshot should scare some people at Redmond http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RAq5KuHSLq0/SiQFoMkuQ8I/AAAAAAAAAT...

But, it still does not export files in DOCX format (only DOC, PDF, HTML & RTF)


I've used google docs quite a few times and what looks like normal formatting in docs comes out trash going to msoffice so their exporting still has a long way to go before exporting docx.


Not exporting to the combined XML/binary representations of the 97 formats (docx, xlsx) is probably a very deliberate decision by Google.


Pushing the web forward can only be a motive of joy.

Kudos!
