That file is very similar to an Office 2003 WordML document, except that the XML Namespace URIs have been changed. If you fix up the Namespace URIs you can process the document with the DocBook Roundtrip XSL stylesheets (though I won't guarantee the results since I have not tested this method). Hi Steve. I'm very familiar with the zip format. I hadn't realised that there was much similarity with the 2003 XML format. That is very useful to know. > > In principle, it will not be difficult to update the DocBook Roundtrip XSL stylesheets to work with Office 2007 (at least the document.xml part). I just haven't had the time lately to do it. If I can get the time added to the project I will have a good look at that. cheers nic > > Cheers, > Steve Ball > > On 21/01/2010, at 11:35 PM, Nic Gibson wrote: > >> >> On 21 Jan 2010, at 10:23, Dave Pawson wrote: >> >>> On 21/01/10 09:58, Kevin Sperring wrote: >>>> Hi Nic, >>>> >>>> I've been researching for a very similar solution. >>>> I'm currently reading http://www.explain.com.au/oss/docbook/ which looks >>>> like it might be useful. >>> >>> >>> http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/MSWord.html >>> >>> Bob answered this yesterday. >>> You may have to save into Word 2003 (the earlier form) first. >> >> Thanks Dave - I missed that. >> >> That's the bit we are trying to avoid - the application (generated via heavily customised >> MS Word templates) uses a lot of Office 2007 specific features.
