Messing around with Openoffice- Part 1

I'm currently messing around with Openoffice 2.0 having a look at the xml files.

It is easier to unzip openoffice files using linux/unix but on windows you have to install winzip or winrar to unzip the files. Then you have to open the files using this utility to view the individual component. Unfortunately it seems that only winzip allows you to place an altered file into the zip archive by dragging and dropping, and then lets you view the file in the correct open document format.

All the links I could find on the subject refer to Openoffice 1.x and so they use the properiatary Openoffice format 1.x format as the basis of the articles.
