Thanks, I just downloaded it and tried it. I particularly liked all the
choices it offers as far as which information should be included in the XML
markup and which shouldn't.

What I didn't like was when it crashed on me:

   XML Output Options: Word2XML.exe - Application
   The instruction at "0x00000000" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The
memory could not be "read".

This happened when I picked all the options that I wanted, and it happened
again when I left everything at the default settings. Then I gave up. (I
always wonder when they quote the single word "read"--are they trying to be
"ironic"?)

It still looks like a nice start. I'll keep an eye on it and try it on some
other Windows boxes.

thanks,

Bob
