The program was able to display docx documents as html documents. The conversion did however ignore several objects and elements in the technical preview.

Open XML Viewer has now been released in version 1.0 which comes with an increased functionality and compatibility. The developers have added support for Internet Explorer 7, Internet Explorer 8 as well as Opera (on both Linux and Windows). Several enhancements have been made to the document conversion as well. This includes support for additional drawing shapes including Parallelogram, Trapezium, Diamond, Block arrows, lines, 5-pointed Star, Hexagon and triangles, support for document themes and Math ML equations.
