Convert Word to XML?
-
Hi CPians, I need to convert Word docs and Excel to XML. The problem is that I need to do this in my ASP.NET application. I am not looking for an application that does this. I need information on how I can implement it myself. I have been looking around but haven't found anything usefull. Anyone has any idea? any links ? Thanx! |---------------| | theJazzyBrain | |---------------|

two solutions 1) get word to save the doc as html and convert that 2) use automation to generate an xml documnet directly.

I new about saving as HTML etc... and this is not good for me, but automation seems to be what I need.:-D It looks as if I have to spend some time on reading about automation, haven't used it before.:confused: But I guess this is what soft. dev. is all about!!;P;P;P Thanx! |---------------| | theJazzyBrain | |---------------|

In case you didn't know, html is a different thing than xml. Office Xp provides both xml and html support, for import and export. And these are different namespaces and file formats. For instance, Excel XP outputs a spreadsheet to either .xml using the internal XML-SS file format, or the VML+MSO based .html web archive.
