Michael,

Why not just do it in CSV format?  DP does that like a breeze.  Then, import into Excel and export in normal XLS format which, I believe, MS-Word can use as a secondary merge file.  It's very easy.  Even I can do it!  : )

Hi Michael,

If you like, why not zip me up what you have, eg the XML data, any XML/XSLT
files you might have created and/or the original Word document, and send it
to my email [email protected]

I will let you know if you are on the right track...

Bye
Brian

Hi Brian,

Sorry to be a pain but, although I can generate kosher XML files,  I am 
struggling with the XSLT bit.

Any further help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Michael


  
Personally I prefer to use XML as the data source and to create a Word
     
      
XSLT
   
    
as the form document. You can then start to approach some of the
     
      
flexibility
   
    
of WordPerfect's merge using the rich capabilities of XPath and XSLT. In
September 2008 I posted a series of articles of how to do this, I can
      
post
  
them again if you wish to go this way. This has a relatively steep
     
      
learning
   
    
curve but the results are great, and you can create Word documents
      
without
  
needing Word, which makes it good for server side automation, and web
enabled DP applications.
