Hi there, I am working on a project where I am using an MS-Word 2003 template as the authoring tool for XML based content as the organisation is looking for a single source publishing solution. I have developed a schema (well formed and valid) and attached this to the document, and also have marked-up content correctly. my XML tree is as follows document - metadata -> node1 -> node2 -> etc -content -> content area 1 --> titles --> headings --> text (contains other tags like text_bold) --> etc -> content area 2 --> titles --> headings --> text (contains other tags like text_bold) --> etc -> content area 1 --> titles --> headings --> text (contains other tags like text_bold) --> etc The problem I have is that when I go to save as XML (data only as I'm not using crappy WordML) that if i: a) check the Ignore Mixed Content radio button - that some content in my metadata node (see above) is not exported b) uncheck the Ignore Mixed Content radio button - content is not before or after tags like text_bold, text_italics What I do not understand is that the document schema however should be enforcing what content should be being exported as I have made it to ignore mixed content in the metadata node (so that only content within tags will be exported), and that all content within the conent node should be exported as I have made it to include mixed content. Any ideas? Or should I develop an XSLT that would be applied before saving? Cheers
Hi David, You may want to also post this in the Office XML newsgroup (link below). Be sure to mention which Word 2003 you're working with. The capabilities of Word 2003 standalone or Word 2003 from MS Office 2003 Professional Edition are different than those in the Word 2003 copy in Standard, Student/Teachers, Basic and Small Business editions of Office 2003. ======== <<"the_Jackal" wrote in message news:6c8cb67.0505191959.37a24ddc@posting.google.com...
