boen_robot Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 In the "Getting Started" Task Pane, serach for "XML" and you'll see all the things with "Word 2003 & XML" you'll need to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspnetguy Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 just a dumb question, why and how do you use XML with Word? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boen_robot Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 How... well... do you have MS Office 2003? If so, read the previous post . It's a really boring thing to explain. Not to mention somewhat useless.I guess for the sake of reusability. If the XML changes, so does the Word document. Things will become better in MS Office 2007 though, scince the complete format is XML based. You'll be able to not only fetch content from an XML file, but also to control the appearance of the file by generating it on the fly based on XML data.

jesh Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 why...do you use XML with Word?I don't know about Word, but you can fairly easily dynamically generate XML so that it can be viewed as an Excel spreadsheet. This is good for a site which needs to generate reports in spreadsheet format - rather than relying on some Excel API and VB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kvnmck18 Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Another thing is you can save any Word doc as an XML and from there you have your premade XML....Though it's not worth it and it's pretty messy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
