An sxw file is just XML data compressed using the zip algorithm.
Open the file using WinZip (under Windows) or File Roller (under Linux).
Then open content.xml with a text editor.
The "openness" of the file format derives from the fact that you can study
the entire content of the file in this way. The contents of the DOC
format are a closely guarded secret, and people have occasionally been
embarrassed by information stored within, unknown to them.
