Default Please suggest- Word, XML usage

Hi
My daily job involves working with lot of Word 2003 templates, developling
them and creating solutions in Word VBA and VB 6.0. We would now like to move
ahead in technology use and would like to explore the combination of Word
2003, XML and VB .Net 2008.

Unfortunately we can not move to Office 2007 at least for next 12-15 months.
Can you please suggest good books, refeernce links etc to accomplish the
above. I read about VSTO, hoever I am not sure if I would need to use VSTO if
I am using VS 2008.

Aplogies if you find this as a cross-post, I have done it intentionally as
my problem is related to both Word 2003 and VB .Net.

Thanks in advance.

You have not cross-posted this, so I assume you have multi-posted it.
Moderate cross-posting is acceptable; multi-posting is discouraged.

Hi Pranav,

My daily job involves working with lot of Word 2003 templates, developling
them and creating solutions in Word VBA and VB 6.0. We would now like to move
ahead in technology use and would like to explore the combination of Word
2003, XML and VB .Net 2008.

It's difficult to give you an answer, as you haven't mentioned what you actually
want to *do*.

VSTO is a set of tools that basically extends the Office applications in-
process. You can create Add-ins or, for Word and Excel, document-level
customizations (managed code in a separate dll instead of VBA stored in the
document). VSTO is part of VS 2008 Professional or higher.

It's also possible to automate Office applications using VB.NET (similar to
creating a VB6 forms project). For that you wouldn't use (or need) VSTO.
