AFAICT, there are two possibilities: a generic WordML schema used by default, owned by Microsoft but not publicly documented; alternatively, your own schema, fully custom, not custom*ized* WordML. In addition, WordML is by no means the default; that will still be the Office 9/10 format used today. So just saying "Save" will not lead to any kind of interoperability. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan cowan@c... To say that Bilbo's breath was taken away is no description at all.
