Hi all,
we are trying to get data from an XML file into a formated Word
Document.
So far I found 2 aproaches to do that, of those I think they are
usefull.
One is to create a template with XML tags (of the same schema as the
XML file storing the data) and let the values filled in by a program
that runs when a new documend is created from the Template (the
program is in a .dll connected to the template)
The other aproach is to Create a XSL Transformation that will be
aplead on the XML file (that stores the data) when you open the XML
file (word 2003 supports this).
Now my question, is there a way to create such XSL Transformations
(xslt) automaticly from a word document? Or is there a other good way
to create xmlt's to formate the XML data in word.
To write xlst's manually is no option as the end user has to be able
to change formation.
If you tried the same thing(loading data into a word document from
xml), I would like to hear what aproach you took.
Thanks for any answers
