Thanks Steve,
I tried it but it so far did not work out.
I was not sure what the way forward would be so
I started with my current template, added for example
the style 'para' based on Normal.
I did add a few more like 'sect1-title' basing it on Heading 1.
Saved it as xml in Word.
Then I ran
xsltproc -o word.xml --stringparam wordml.template my_template_en.xml
$(DB)/dbk2wordml.xsl docbook.xml
It did not work out, I suspect the template got ignored, it was not
included in the word.xml ?
The template I created, and saved as xml starts :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<?mso-application progid="Word.Document"?>
<pkg:package
xmlns:pkg="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/xmlPackage";>
And contains more or less the docx zipped structure in a flat XML file.
(document.xml is based on
xmlns:w="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main";
if I read things correctly)
or what would be the best way forward ?
Is the 2006 schema supported ?
or do I enter a rabbit hole of trying to keep up to date with Word ?
If the styles.xml and all other are kept can I only update the
document.xml? or are the structures intertwined ?
The structure of the docx file contains 13 files, so the template is
rather elaborate already.
That would then be unzip template, xsltproc -o document.xml without
template ? docbook.xml, then zip the file again.
If you have any further pointers that would be helpful. Thanks.

Hi Frederik,
The DocBook stylesheet package includes the roundtripping system that does a
two-way conversion from DocBook to Word (and Pages and OpenOffice) and back
again. You use a template document to specify the styles when going from
DocBook to Word. The system has a template document, but you can supply your
own.
If you’re just looking for a one-way conversion, then that would be a good
place to start.
Cheers,

Dear all,
I have been trying for a while to generate a Word 2010 file from Docbook.
I have a Word Template with styles for the most common things
like Heading 1, Title etc.
I had some problems with Word 2007 with name changes in styles.
The style Title became Titel in the German version of Word.
I would like to simply put the content of a Docbook article into
a word document using the external template for style.
Actually
pandoc --from=docbook --to=docx --reference-docx=Template.docx
--output=Article.docx Article.xml
would do but this does not work very well.
What ways or tools are available ?
Do I have to use other formats as intermediate ?
or is it not possible...
Basically the article has sections (nested), title, para, imageobjects, and
lists.. tables would be a plus.
Would be ok with a subset but a plus if one can map a tag to a style.
Any ideas and pointers ?
I have looked at pandoc and python-docx but the solutions become
complex and not very automatic.
There used to be some effort for stylesheets but I guess that would not work
with the predefined styles of the Template ?
