I currently submit data according to a spec which requires it to be sent by
email in a tag system, e.g. 1010=XYZ. I enter the data in an Access program,
import the data into a Word document with mailmerge, and then paste this into
an email.

The spec is now being changed to XML, so that 1010=XYZ will become
Company NameXYZ/Company Name

It seems to me that the easiest way of doing the conversion may be to amend
the Word documents so that they can be sent as XML. Is this possible and can
anyone point me to information about how to set about it? I know a fair
amount about Access and Word, but very little about XML.

The submission will be done in Office 2007 but I am at present using Office
2003 for development.

Thanks for any help.
