Hi all, Rick isn't talking about using the Word XML document format in this case. He is talking about using the MSXML Active X control that is built into windows.
FrameScript can pass instructions to this control, which opens up the ability to generate custom XML directly from FrameMaker, as well as to perform operations using XPath and XQuery. You can also use the control to reconstruct FrameMaker documents from XML. I personally use the MSXML control to produce XML-based embedded help systems for database-driven, web-based applications. FrameScript enables me to encode select elements of a structured document in XML, perform XSL transforms, and push the XML directly into an Oracle database. Best regards, Martin Martin R.
