ODF-support in Office 2007 SP2: conformance <> interoperability
Portals & Integration
Since the release of Office 2007 SP2, Office has native support for Open Document Format (ODF). This means that we can get rid of all the plug-ins we've been using so far...

Disable the toolbar header on a listviewwebpart from code
