RE: [Flashcoders] word docs-to-xml file
I don't know if you have an office version. But the version I have (2003) can just save the a doc to a XML.

Re: [Flashcoders] word docs-to-xml file
I made an xml file for a swf that i'm working on and i'm looking for a quick way to get the data out of the docs into the xml file. basically, there's 50 docs that have data that map to some nodes in my file. is there a text editor or some macro i can use to automate this process? im runnning mac os x (10.4) tiger It's going to depend on how the data is stored in the Word documents. I use Windows myself, but I've written a fair few VBScript automation tools in my time and you can achieve pretty much anything. If the data is already structured cleanly, then you should be able to automate the process (a good way to start is to record a macro of yourself doing the work, then edit the script that the macro generates).
