Why can't I use XML in the Student and Teacher Edition?

[Guest]

Am I missing an Add-in? I can't believe I wasted my money buying this version
of MS Office, when I can't even use it to complete the assignments when XML
isn't available..

Any clues?

Thanks,

You've got one reply at one of your other posts.

XML is not available in that version/edition.

Note Office Professional Edition 2003 includes additional support for
Extensible Markup Language (XML) and information rights management (IRM) and
allows you to use Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System.

Thank you Gord.

I just learned this the hard way! Gotta shell out more dough to get the
Prof. Edition. Not happy!

What may make this even worse (if you weren't already aware) is that
Student/Teachers won't qualify you for an upgrade version.
