Hello Group,
I am using office 2003 and i want to convert my word document in xml format
.. when i go to save as xml it makes it a single page of xml when i open in
browser is there any way to save it in individual pages.
Thanks

XML is sort of like a programming language. For word it is not only the
text of the document, but also provides descriptions of how to format
and present the text. The same thing the DOC format does, but does it
using the XML way of doing this.

When you view it in a program (browser, text viewer, or whatever) it
will only take on the property of "pages" after it is paginated...which
depends on the size of the paper, font sizes, spacing between lines,
etc. The Browser does not display paper pages of text. It will flow on
the screen as one page. If you print it, it will paginate and print the
pages it wants to print.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

Sorry, but I really don't understand what you are trying to do. Can't
you simply just write the document as normal, save it as normal (DOC
format) and forget this XML and HTML complexity?

If the document you write has to be put into an XML file, then fine.
Save it that way. It's just a file format. It is not the document.

Good luck.

Thanks Rob , Actually I am making a search programe in which user serarches
data in a report which is online and if match is found then user gets a url
of that page.Now since the report is in word format and has many pages so to
make it online i m converting it into html/xml fotmat. If i go for save as
option it makes it one page html document and disturbs the format. so was
looking for some work around. u get a bit of it.

You'd first have to divide the document into five separate files, then saves
these in the desired file format. One possible way to do this is to use the
Master Document tool, that can create separate documents based on the
presense of the style Heading 1.
