Apparently, from some other posts, it appears that Word
2003 Beta allows saving .doc file directly as .xml
With all the applications out there that have been
requiring extended markup language as the format, I
couldn't believe it when I realized that Word 2000 didn't
have native support for this capability (it does not even
allow import/export of .xml). I haven't tried Word 2003
beta myself yet, but if it does have the elusive
capability everyone has been looking for...well...about
time, huh? Only about 5 years late, I'd say.

If Word 2003 Beta can convert .docs to Xhtml (or is that
a whole other story?), that's one thing; but if Word 2003
doesn't allow the conversion of EXISTING 2000 .docs, then
that is another. Other websites I've read suggest that the
conversion of existing .docs to XML via Word 2003
is not possible; thus, the numerous software products
available for conversion of existing .docs.
