Re: Viewing and Parsing XML files

Hi Hafeez,

Generally, the ID= attribute wouldn't appear. In Word 2003 the capabilities for XML documents vary. Full support of external
Schemas/XSLT is provided in standalone Word and Word in the Professional Edition. You can defined a Schema and attach it to the
XML pane using the dialog accessed under
Tools=>Templates and Addins (Alt, T, I).

The XML Structure Task Pane (View=>TaskPane) will let you navigate the structure of the record content.

If you want to work on the raw XML data you can use
Tools=>Options=>General
and turn on
[x] Confirm Conversions at Open
then when you open the XML file choose Text file rather than XML document as the file type, but opening the .XML file in an XML
Editor will usually be easier to work with.

I'm using Word 2003.
My XML files are defined as follows:
Record
AccountInfo
TransactionInfo
ProductInfo
There are multiple sub-tags, and sub-sub-tags within the ones I've listed,
but let's ignore them for the time being.
1) How do I open the document in Word and show the tags as they would
appear in Notepad? Some of the information in the XML file is not showing
because it's hidden in the tag name. For example...<Record id="1"> is what
appears in NotePad, but only a Tag Named "Record" appears in Word.
2) Is there a quick way for me to Isolate all of the details associated with
(for example) Record numbers 3, 9, 14, and 45, and place that information
(copying the exact same struture) in a new file? >>
