The website referred to by Google (not Google itself) is wrong. XML is "eXtensible Markup Language". Microsoft Office's newish (from 2007 onwards) file formats are stored as XML. So are OpenOffice.org formats since version 1.0. Two thirds of the web pages you view are now XHTML which is a subset of XML. > I don't have MS Office, but back I go to OOo for further checking.

Browsers, at least firefox, will display any XML documents in readable format. If formatting information is provided as CSS this will be applied. Then you can copy and paste the relevant data to OpenOffice.org or your program of choice. -- Michael -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands send email to sy...@openoffice.org with Subject: help
