!!! Office 2003 Tool: WordprocessingML Transform Inference Tool !!!

This command line tool, the XSLT Inference tool, helps you easily create XSL Transformations (XSLT) that quickly transform XML files into WordprocessingML documents with complex and rich formatting.

The process begins with a raw XML file that is representative of the XML files you wish to transform. This XML file is opened in Microsoft© Office Word 2003 and each of the XML elements can then be formatted to represent how similar XML files should be formatted when opened in Word, in effect creating a WordprocessingML formatting template. The saved WordprocessingML version of this file is called a “seed document”, and is used as the input to the XSLT Inference Tool.

For more information about how to use this tool, see the Microsoft Office Word 2003 XML Software Development Kit (SDK) on MSDN.

  When using inference tool generated xslt files as print views in InfoPath, I get errors. Is there any way to use these generated xslt files within InfoPath as Word Print Views? If so, what manual manipulation might be required?

  Sounds a great tool but ...
  I cannot run wml2xslt from the command prompt.
  "Not recognised as an internal or external command"
  I tried to follow all the MS install instructions to the letter.
  Does anyone know what I missed ?

  I'm creating an XSL Transform (XSLT) so I can convert a series of XML documents to MordML.  I'm having trouble solving this problem using the Microsoft Office 2003 XSLT Inference Tool.  I can't get my transform to work.  I'm following the instructions as I understand them:

  1. Create an XML instance representing the XML documents to be transformed (the "seed" document).
  2. Run the Transform Inference tool, wml2xslt.exe, against the seed document to produce the transform.
  3. Use Microsoft Word 2003 to apply the trasform to an instance of the XML document matching the schema of the original seed document. My problem is that when I apply the transform to an input document, the content in the result is the content from the seed document and not the input document.  Have you seen this before?  Am I making a common mistake?
