Thanks Manos, that does help. I actually had forgotten about the OO XML support. I'll have to delve into more. Unfortunately, I don't really have much flexibility due to some corporate restrictions. But, I could always use it myself.... And Tom, users, please. I have a special particularly hard spot on my cube wall where I can bang my head after dealing with them! =) Date: Fri, 10 Sep 2004 17:29:26 +0300 To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx From: Emmanouil Batsis <Emmanouil.Batsis@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: [xsl] Word 2003 schema and XSL Message-ID: <4141BA46.8000505@xxxxxxxxxxx> 0 8 wrote: >We have some very light XML creation needs and we're considering Word >2003 to allow authors and copyeditors to work in a familiar >environment while also making sure we can quickly get a document into >XML as we need it.

I believe the filter feature of OO will allow you to save to any vocabulary you want if you provide the mapping between OO and your schema as a stylesheet...
