There is no output method "word" at the moment, only plain text.
Doubtless someone will write one soon :-)

The fastest way to get Word from XML is to load the XML file in
WordPerfect and click File | Save As... and choose Word as the
format (but you need to do a WP stylesheet, it can't use XSL).

You can open an XML file with MSIE 5.5, Netscape 6, and several
other browsers. Or use a normal XML editor. Text files you can
open with any editor.

The default for most externally-called XSLT processors *is* to
save the output in a file.

See above. I'd be interested to know why you believe browsers
won't open XML or plain text files.
