yes you are.
because this patents its very strictly word processor related.
instead of saving all into .doc, .docx ads a .xml to handle everything like the formating etc etc.
and when xml surfaced 1996, they already had a patent for the use .xml in a word processor.
microsoft didn't start using it until 2003-2007. and it wasn't until 2007 they fully utilize it.
