MacLinkPlus Deluxe Converts Word/Excel 2007 Documents

Thanks to Jim Dewitt, who alerted me that DataViz’s venerable MacLinkPlus Deluxe, now at version 16, also includes read-only support for the file formats used by Word 2007 and Excel 2007 under Windows. So, if Microsoft’s free beta converter doesn’t work for you (see “Microsoft Office Open XML File Format Converter in Beta,” 2007-05-21), and you want an alternative to Panergy’s docXConverter, check out MacLinkPlus Deluxe. DataViz deserves kudos for sticking with the conversion game for so long and with such a large list of file formats. My experience
is that conversions are seldom perfect, but any automatic tool that brings you closer to the desired result is a good thing.
