Does someone know (and can guide me to) an (relativly) easy way to 'convert' a XML-file into a document in Word 2007 or OO/LO.
I am looking for something like drag-n-drop, similar to Excel. And the result shall be editable. Basically create a template which is linked to the XML-file and creates the final document on request.
I have read a lot about XML and document conversion using XSLT, but this is mostly related to the internal docx/odt-structure and much to complicated for my purpose.
Short explantion of the problem background:
I have my CV in form of an XML (where it's easier to maintain and better structured) and would like to generate from this XML-file a proper formatted Word97/OO/LO document. This implies that there must be a option to process repetitions (some solutions can't do this as far as I understood)
There are programs out there that you can purchase such as Altova StyleVision, or online at Coolutils.com. If you want it to do exactly what you want it to do, and be free, using XSLT to convert is going to be your best option. A good demo is available from Microsoft here: Using XSLT and Open XML to Create a Word 2007 Document
