Hi everyone, Annoying question time. I'm trying to get my head around how to get MS word to open OpenOffice xml files. I can open word xml files in OO but it seems not the other way around. This strikes me as strange - don't know why when MS are involved I should be used to it by now :) I thought that if an xml document was correctly formed then anything that can open xml documents could open it and work on it - please correct me if I'm wrong here. My guess is that regardless of all the marketing crap I've read about MS and xml, that word can't actually open/import xml documents correctly. Could someone kindly put me out of my misery here. Can word work with xml documents or not ? As you may have gathered using MS word isn't exactly one of my strong points :) but I need to be able to have some of my documents editable by word users and I thought that since xml was xml then they'd have no problems. Okay so they have to uncompress my OO files to get at the xml but that's no biggy - or so I thought. I'm hoping that there's an xml guru here abouts that can explain this to me. TIA. Jon
