Word document creation in XML

Hi All,

I'm pretty new to .Net, not to mention XML, so I truly appreciate any advice!

I have user data that I want to selectively insert into a MS Word document
in XML. Given the various content, I want to create a new instance of an XML
document and write the data to the XML doc using the Word ML schema. The key
item is that I want to be able to add content line-by-line or
section-by-section, to the word document using the XML schema. The reason
behind this is that the content will change dramatically.

The question comes down to this -- are there already-defined components that
allow me to write data in Word ML format to an XML file, or do I need to hand
code it to write specific tags (e.g. <w:pPr ..., <w:rFonts ....)?
Additionally, can I write this new XML file directly to a SQL 2005 database
with a "XML" data type field?

Everything I've found is focused on taking a doc binary file and converting
to XML, but I want to take data and insert it, section by section, into an
XML document that MS Word will open and apply the word schema. Essentially
this comes down to "building a word document, server-side, based on user
input in a web form, as an XML file". I need this to be XML because the data
will eventually
be used by other applications.

Recommendations on books, articles, etc. are also greatly appreciated!

An article at http://news.com.com/2100-1012-991694.html?tag=fd_top states: "XML would allow easier interchange of data generated in Office documents with back-end systems or existing Web services." As part of an Access 2000 application, I have to continually parse Word documents and store the parsings in Access tables using Automation to control Word and parse the document. Is there a way that XML would help with that? Thanks.

Hi, Being fairly new to .NET I am looking for a way to call MS Word from an event on a webform, and after the user is finished save that created document to an SQL Server database. Has anyone done this? Does it seem possible? I followed the instructions from a sample on the Microsoft knowledge base but it only seems to work when creating a VB.NET Windows .EXE, not an VB.NET ASP app.

I am updating a VB4.0 quote generation program to VB.net. The old program takes user inputs, performs calculations, saves the data to Access databases and uses Crystal Reports 5.0 to generate a quote. A while back users obviously wanted to be able to edit/e-mail the quote (these ancient Cyrstal 5.0 reports don't allow PDF creation) so I modified the old VB4.0 code to allow users to save the Crystal Report as Word document which they can...

I looked to find a canned solution to create a Word document in my application and just couldn't find anything that just gets to the point. I would think, and I may be making too strong of an assumption here, that anyone looking for this kind of solution would just want a simple example that they can work from and expand upon. In my case, I just want to output a new Word document. I found that creating a simple wrapper class would make this...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
