After saving my document as XML and looking at the source how do i get
started and programming against the xml document?
Same way you would manipulate any other XML document... The XML schemas for
the Office suite are readily available:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourc...ord+xml+schema
if i wanted to take a customer in Northwind and their orders and display
it
in word is this somethng i can do easily with xml tip?
I suppose that really depends on your definition of "easily"...
At the end of the day, XML is XML is XML - if you're fairly familiar with
XML documents and transformations, this will present very little difficulty
to you. If, on the other hand, you've never used XML before, you'll have a
bit of a learning curve - same as you would have with any other technology
new to you...
On the other hand, if you don't need all of the minute detail that the XML
format will give you, you can just as easily (probably much more so!) create
a simple HTML document and give it a .doc extension - that will cause Word
to open it, whereupon it will recognise it as an HTML document and render it
accordingly...
E.g.
1) Open Notepad
2) Paste the HTML below:
<html>
<body>
Hello
</body>
<html>
3) Save it as C:\Test.doc
4) Close Notepad
5) Double-click C:\Test.doc
