Is there a difference when saving a .docx file as a Word XML document (*.xml)
and saving a .docx file as a Word 2003 XML document (*.xml)?

The Save As dialog box in Word 2007 offers both formats under Save as type.
For example, if I save MyDocument.docx as a Word XML document, it saves it as
MyDocument.xml. When I save it as a Word 2003 XML document it tells me the
document already exists and asks if I want to replace it. This leads me to
believe there is no difference. Can anyone enlighten me please?

Hi ?B?UG9sYXJpcw==?=,

Is there a difference when saving a .docx file as a Word XML document (*.xml)
and saving a .docx file as a Word 2003 XML document (*.xml)?

I think they're the same, but I wouldn't bet my life on it.

As far as I know, only the one XML document file format (that introduced in
2003) has ever existed.
