Office 2003 and XML

[Mark Baird]

The latest version of Word has a modified INCLUDETEXT field that
allows you to include nodes of data from an XML file and at the same
time use XSL to transform that data. The following generates an error
when I add in the name of the XSL to use.


Mark Baird


{ INCLUDETEXT "c:\\format-number.xml" \t "c:\\format-number.xsl" \x
/root/myNumber }


format-number.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<myNumber>136234</myNumber>
</root>


format-number.xsl

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:value-of select="format-number(root/myNumber,'###,##0.####')"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Hi Mark,

You may want to also post this in the Office XML newsgroup,
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.office.xml

Note that Word 2003 standalone and Word 2003 in the Office 2003 Professional edition have XML capabilities not available in Word
2003 in the MS Office 2003 Standard, Student and Teachers, Basic or Small Business Editions.
