I tried writing in MicroML once, in the beta version of Word '03. Bill's
version of XML was not like the W3C version of XML, and I found it a bit of
a bugger to use. Creating and adding tags is easy enough, but I dug myself
into a massive hole trying to work out what to do about style sheets. There
was no help or support, and none of the stuff I found in my researches (on
W3C sites) worked properly. In the end, one of the programmers wrote a
JavaScript. It still didn't work (at least, not up to the point where I last
had involvement with the project), but at least that was no longer my fault.
This situation may not apply to the real release (I haven't dared to try
it!). However, I strongly recommend that you ply the Development Team with
pizza, energy drinks (or coffee) and chips for at least a week before you
try XML authoring in Word just in case. ;-)
HTH, Andrea

<snip>I've been investigating the XML capabilities of Word and it looks as
if they should be usable. But
I'd be very interested to hear from anyone who's actually tried it out.
