The problem is most of our clients use office 2003. Does anybody know if I can use openxml for office 2003?
Word 2003 can "save as Word 2003 XML Document", which creates XML which is very similar to the Open Office XML, but not identical. However, Word 95 and above can install a "Open Office XML Compatibility Pack" which enables loading and saving as Open Office XML.
Does anybody know how I an do this without COM automation?
There is an Open Office XML Toolkit from Microsoft (currently only in CTP IIRC) that doesn't (directly, at least) involve COM automation. This can be used for all Open Office XML documents (not only Word). I've used this successfully to read and write Word (Open Office XML) documents created by Word 2007. =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor® http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com
