Word 2007 and XML, again

[Guest]

Hi,
Well, Chester just helped me to get started with W2007 and XML. I needed to
turn on the "Developer" tab under Word Options. But, now that I've done that,
where are the XML schemas. Any search throughout my Office directory
structure shows me some xml files, but, there don't seem to be any schemas to
get started. Does anyone know where I can get some. I'm sure Microsoft
provides some.

Thanks.

Hi there Peter,

Although I'm not yet familiar with doing XML in Microsoft Word, I think this
one is a good read to get started:

Other topics about XML and Microsoft Word on Office Online can be located
here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/CH100992721033.aspx.

I too should start to read these.

Thanks!

What are you trying to do exactly? There are different types of XML
capability in Word. You have the XML schemas, which are the same as they
were in previous versions but there is new functionality you can use
instead, called Content Controls that can be bound to a data store.And you
have the Open Office XML file format which isn't the same as a schema.

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email can not be acknowledged.
