Introduction
Microsoft Office Word 2003 opened new possibilities for the Word developer by
introducing an XML version of its file format, known as WordprocessingML. You
can now save a Word document as an XML or WordprocessingML file that describes
the document, with elements representing items such as text, tables, lists,
styles, and everything else necessary to describe a document fully. Because you
are no longer limited to a binary file format, the possibilities of
programmatically manipulating a Word document are dramatically increased. Also,
in Word you can attach a custom schema to a document and use it to work with and
manipulate custom XML data. This enables you to insert elements from a schema
into a document to hold specific information. For example, if you attach a
schema to a document and that schema describes data specific to books, you can
add elements like <author>, <isbn>, <title>, and <copyrightdate> to the document
to store information in XML files that adhere to the added schema. Your ability
to import data from a database into one or many documents increases when you
work programmatically. You can also parse a WordprocessingML file for data
inside a schema`s elements and retrieve the data for use elsewhere. This article
demonstrates one possibility by showing how you can take information from a
database and persist it inside a Word document in the form of a table.
