RE: [xml-dev] Word table to XML

["DuCharme, Bob (LNG-CHO)" <bob.ducharme@lexisnexis.com>]

Doing it for free:

 

1. open the document using OpenOffice

 

2. save it in OpenOffice's own format, which will give it a file extension of sxw

 

3. unzip the content.xml file from the sxw file

 

You'll find any table(s) marked up using elements and attributes from the OpenOffice table namespace, which after a brief glance looks pretty good (for example, it covers cells that span columns).

Are there any tools to easily convert a table in word to XML?
