This week's book giveaway is in the Agile and other Processes forum. We're giving away four copies of The Mikado Method and have Ola Ellnestam and Daniel Brolund on-line! See this thread for details.
Has anyone here tried to do convert an Word 2003 document into XML via XSLT? I may have a requirement in the near future that would require me to grab data from a word doc and put it into a database. If it could be done with an XSLT, it would make my life easier in the future to change.
I am finding poor documentation on the process. Hopefully someone has some insight into this matter.
I just did that a couple of days ago. First I saved the document as XML (I don't believe that the .doc format is XML itself). Then I eyeballed the XML to find the bits I wanted to extract, and messed around with the XSLT until it extracted only those bits.
Okay, that's not very professional. A quick hack, but it did what I needed. But I know Microsoft has schemas for the XML version of Word 2003. Have you seen this page yet? Looks like a good place to start.
I have a similar task to convert a MS Word document to an XML. The word document has images and graphs.Someone suggested me to use Apache POI Framework for this task.Can some one please suggest me how to go about it?
