Nikita:
Sorry, this trick doesn't quite work. Depending on the document you'll need
to do a bunch of manual cleanup or write a script to take care of it. (Among
other things, the SIZE attribute values are all unquoted.) OTOH "Save as
HTML" does get you a good way down the road and gives you something you can
work with. Whether the result is useful XML or not is another question.
Regards,
Tony

In the MS Word go to <File>/<Save As> menu, select "Save as HTML document".
It will create a well formed XML file: HTML with all elements having start
and end tags. Apply XSL if you want tag name or attributes changed.
(Just remember to exhume the <body> - sorry for bad joke).
