how to apply a xslt on a word 2007 document

2006-12-06, 7:31 pm

Hi,
saving documents in word 2003 as .xml enabled you to load the document into
xml spy. There you could attach a xslt to the document and make visual
adjustments to the xslt file and see the results on the fly moore or less.
1) What is best practice for working in a similar way with Word 2007
documents? (they cant be loaded into XML spy)
2) It seems that the namespaces differ between Word 2003 and 2007
documents(xmlns:w="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2003/wordml"
versus xmlns:w="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2003/2/wordml" ).
What is best practice if you want to use a xslt for documents created both by
word 2003 and 2007?
Thanks,
P

It ain't easy to handle Word 2007 XML files.
The docx file is a zipped file, which contains multiple XML files and some
other
binary files.

You might try using the "document" function in XSLT to access external
XML files.
