Apply an XSL Transformation

Applies to: Microsoft Office Word 2003

Note XML features, except for saving documents as XML with the Word XML schema, are available only in Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003 and stand-alone Microsoft Office Word 2003.

Caution If you apply an Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT) (XSL Transformation (XSLT): A file that is used to transform XML documents into other types of documents, such as HTML or XML. It is designed for use as part of XSL.) when you save an Extensible Markup Language (XML) (Extensible Markup Language (XML): A condensed form of Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) that enables developers to create customized tags that offer flexibility in organizing and presenting information.) file, Word discards any data that the XSLT does not use.

Do one of the following:

Show Apply an XSLT to the active document

On the File menu, click Save As.
In the Save as type box, click XML Document.
In the File name box, type the document name.
Select the Apply transform check box.
Click Transform, select an XSLT file, and then click Open.
Click Save.

Show Apply the same XSLT every time you save the active document

On the Tools menu, click Templates and Add-Ins, and then click the XML Schema tab.
Click XML Options.
Select the Apply custom transform check box, and then click Browse to locate the XSLT file.
Note You can override this default XSLT by selecting the Apply transform check box in the Save As dialog box and selecting a different XSLT file.
