Publishing Office 2003 XML On-Line

[Cassien]

Does anyone have any links or information about publishing Word documents on a website.

What I would like to do is...
Have users save data in a formatted XML document saved in Office 2003 which they then load into a specified directory on the webserver. A webpage picks up this file and uses it to fill content on the site. e.g. a <Header 1> followed by <Normal> document is then picked up by the site and using XSL formatted in to similar content as part, but not all, of the webpage. The document would always be the same structure so it wouldn't have to error catch.

Any ideas?

Regards,

Cass

I think Windows SharePoint Services (Windows 2003) has this type of basic functionality. You may want to look into the SDK for SharePoint to see if it might expose some good information.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Glen,

It looks like that would do it, but I'm looking for something a bit different. The page already exists and the Word document (published in XML) would only make up a small part of the content of the page, for instance the body text of the main section with the rest of the page made up by standard HTML and ASP in this case.

Regards,

John

MS InfoPath does this too - works with SharePoint services.

Other than that, MS has published the XSDs for Office 2003 (do a google for them), and you'll be able to write a XSLT to reformat them to fit your site.
