I'm not sure this is the correct locqation to post this question but I have
already posted similar question in Office news group (without response)

I am using VS2005 to create a solution for Word 2007. This version of Word
no longer supports HTML as previous versions did. To maintain compatability
with previous solution written for previous versions of Word, I need the HTML
content of a document that Word previously acquired with

MyStr = ActiveDocument.HTMLProject.HTMLProjectItems(1).Tex t

Word produces an XML file using "activedocument.content" so I'm thinking
that maybe there is something in XMLdeserialization that would help convert
this to HTML or at least allow me to loop through the various elements of the
XML file so that I could create the HTML outout

I have no experience with XML functions in VS2005 and feel completely lost
trying to understand it all from the help screens

Any suggsetions?

2007 certainly permits saving as HTML. Go to Save As | Other Formats. It
supports web archive of HTML page.

I appreciate the response - the problem is that I am not saving a file. I
store contents in a SQL database and as such have no need and devilish
difficulty to read or write a file

Not to mention that you should ALWAYS stay as far away as you can from the
MS Office applications "Save As Web Page (HTML)" feature as it creates the
most bloated HTML, CSS, XHTML ever!

Saving a Word 2007 document as 'Web Page, Filtered' in Word 2007 gets rid of
a lot of the 'bloat'. I imagine a similar feature is available for Word XP
and Word 2003. CSS, VML options etc can be controlled through the 'web
options' dialog (main > word options > advanced > web obtions).

Word 2007 was not designed as an HTML editor. But with good use of styles
and CSS, the filtered HTML output is, in my view, not too bad for certain
restricted uses.

IMHO, I disagree (and I know there are many pros. out there that feel the
same way). For mom and pop, it's fine, but pros. are going to have a real
HTML editing environment available to them, so there's no reason to use Word
for HTML.
