Abstract
This thesis sets out to find out if it is possible to create a system that

converts documents between Office Open XML (OOXML), Open Document Format (ODF) and

HyperText Markup Language (HTML). In addition to this, some studies in their

context is executed.

By looking at their specifications, it becomes clear that the structure of content

is the same. Regarding formatting, the open standards differ. With OOXML and

ODF it is a mere difference in structure of the document. HTML on the other

hand need CSS in order to include equivalent

presentation qualities as the other two formats.

A system was designed to create mappings between the formats. The scope was

narrowed down to converting only text, without any presentational

qualities. This was done to locate the lowest common denominator to build

further on, and to make sure the conversions between the formats was feasible. With

this restriction, the resulting system had successful conversions between

documents containing text. The only exception to the system was that it failed

to convert the contents of DOCX to ODT and HTML. However, the remaining

conversions ran successfully; between HTML and ODT, from ODT to DOCX and from

HTML to DOCX.

Even if the system was not carrying out complete conversions between all the

formats, it shows great promise towards accomplishing this, hence affirming the

possibility to convert between the three priorly mentioned formats.
