WordML is the W3C XML schema behind Microsoft Word 2003. More than just a style description language, it encompasses every aspect of Microsoft Word and has become the native format for Word. If you are planning on implementing an XML solution in Office 2003, you'll need to learn WordML. Similar to other style description languages, in order to create a fully-functional XML authoring environment in Word 2003 you'll need to create XSL transforms that will merge your XML instance with WordML markup. Multiple transforms can be created to show different "views," each applying a specific set of styles. In this session we';ll talk about what can and can't be done using WordML, review each of the major element groups, and discuss in detail paragraph styles, character styles, and tables.
