I have an ASP.Net web application that reads an xml file containing bookmark
values that needs to go into a word document. I am opening the Word Document
template in .Net 2.0 (Note: I am referring Office 2007 assembly) and
inserting the bookmark values as per the xml file and streaming the content
of the word document by using the WordOpenXml property of the document in
code to the end user through Response.Write. This shows the file download
dialog for the word document. However the document opens correctly only in
Word 2007. If I open it in Word 2003 it shows me the Xml structure of the
word document and not the word document with the format expected. Am I
missing anything here? Why is it that the xml content is not getting
identified by Word 2003 only?

Has the Word 2003 in question an installed XML filter (ie the 2007
conversion pack)? Otherwise the XML file would be merely text.
