Office 2003 XML for Power Users

If you're an experienced Office user who wants to use XML to unlock the data in Office spreadsheets and documents or one of the many IT professionals who wants to learn about XML and how it is implemented in Office 2003, then this book is for you. It quickly introduces you to the XML standards (including schemas, XPath, and XML transforms) and the philosophy of XML, then shows you how the XML technology embedded into Office 2003 can be used to share and transform data in the Enterprise.

For example, using Office 2003 XML, you can feed an Excel purchase order into an XML inventory management system. You can create a Word document that contains a newspaper article that reads information about resume candidates from a series of Word resume documents and generates a new summary document, without even needing to have Office installed.

With this book, you’ll learn about all of these techniques and the role XML plays in the business world. You won’t need previous experience with XML or need to understand any type of programming, although optional code snippets and downloadable examples will illustrate some of the more advanced tips, tricks, and techniques in this book.
