Building XSLTs and Building XSLTs and SchemasSchemas

exampleexample


What Was Covered?

No tools for generating XSLTs for WordML

Best way to find out how to represent something in WordML?

(just save as XML from Word)

Word will not create schemasThere are tools for .xml -> .xsd

We hope to have a solution in the CDK from helping to build a schema from within Word

What We Have EnabledSummary

Mark up Word doc with your XMLCustomer-defined XML schema validation

Insert XML data into Word docEmbedded islands of live linked XML data

XSLT, XPath

Save Word docs as XML single file, full round-trip

Rich customizability & programmabilitysee OFC303 and OFC308

Ease of SmartDoc solution deployment see OFC302

Research Library web servicessee OFC322
