XML

[joe simmerer]

I am using Office/Word 2000 in an office environment. A
business partner sends an rtf document daily. This
requires hours of manual work that I think we could reduce
by conversion to XML, but I cannot find an appropriate
tool that is light weight and user friendly.

Is there a VB for Word macro that will perform this
function?

G'day "joe simmerer" <[email protected]>,

Theoretically you can save as html and use an xslt to simplify the
mess to the level of tagging you require. You could even go further
and use the same idea on the rtf output instead. Character styles are
good for simple tag arrangements.

What is it which takes the time? What is in the doc? Who does what with
the RTF file after creation?

Saving a Word document as an RTF will take as long as saving as any
other format (XML, DOC, or whatever).

Are you dealing with data? Maybe you should consider a completely
differnt business process and/or software? (database, spreadsheet,
be-spoke application?)

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.
