Can I import XML data into Publisher

[Michael Egan]

Some of the higher end DTP software packages appear to be offering means to
import XML data. Is there anything similar in Publisher 2003?

Failing this - has anybody tried to work with VBA to create a customised
solution to this problem?

You may be able to use XML data with the Mail Merge. Apart from that, this
functionality is unavailable. Microsoft Publisher is not a high-end DTP
application

I haven't, and haven't heard of anyone who has.

Thanks for the response Ed.

Looking at the Mail Merge feature this seems to choke on XML files. I'm sure
there must be a way of doing this. I'll continue to investigate and if
successful will post my results.
