Default Looking for a nice XML merge example.

Does anyone have an example, or "link" to a xml merge example for word?

What I am looking for is the "classic" invoice, or "repeating" data type
merge.

That means you have some single fields like Address, Name, Company, and then
you have a set of repeating fields:


PackageName Qty Price
Apples 12 $5.00
Oranges 6 $4.00

Etc. etc.

It seems to me that since XML models the type of data very nicely..I am
wondering if word 2003 can use merge fields with this xml data..and you can
get this repeating data into a "table" (hopefully with a minimal amount of
fuss..and code). Can the new word handle this xml type data for merge
fields..and "repeat" data for one letter with one customer...but "many"
detail lines?
(or, do we still have to write code to do this?).

Any good examples of the above type problem...and a xml mail merge to word?
