[[!meta title="MS Office XML and OpenOffice.org file types added to white list"]]
Our [whitelist of file types served directly to the web](/faq/50/)
has for a long time included .doc, .xls, and .ppt. With the advent
of new XML-based Microsoft Office formats, and with the popularity
of LibreOffice and OpenOffice.org, there have been requests for
whitelisting these additional file types. As of yesterday, the new
Office XML filetypes — .docx, .xlsx, .pptx, etc. — as well as ODF
file types — .odt, .ods, .odp, etc. — will also be served directly
to the web.

In addition to files you place in your locker, this also affects
files uploaded to your website via the standard upload feature of
apps such as MediaWiki and WordPress.

The full list of whitelisted extensions is posted
[in our FAQ](/faq/50/).
