Re: Create WordML via XSLT with embedded macros

Hi =?Utf-8?B?TWFydGluIExlaW0=?=,

Assuming we're discussing Word 2003, Professional version...

It works fine, here. The attribute w:macrosPresent="yes" must be in the
w:wordDocument element. And the set of tags
<w:docSuppData><w:binData w:name="editdata.mso">binary data here

has to follow the <w:styles> and precede the <w:docPr> sections. When I do
that, then apply the transform to an XML file using MSXML (or a .NET XML
class) then save the result as a file and open it in Word, the AutoOpen macro
fires correctly.

You can't get the macro to show up by applying the transform to an already
opened XML file, though, if that's what you've been doing.
