Beyond the raw text, the names of paragraph styles and character styles and document properties and variables are written to the uaa xml file. uad Wrocco uds   does not export information about direct formatting (without named styles). Tables, pictures and similar page elements are not supported. uhg An Example for uad Wrocco ugy The page you are reading has been written with uad Microsoft uds   (R) uad Word . It has been converted to uaa xml with uad Wrocco uds   and then processed further in order to get this uaa html page. You can view the example uaa xml output for this page as it was generated by uad Wrocco uds   from the uad Microsoft uds   (R) uad Word document using the following uaa uri . ugy uri http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~ram/raw/720979_doc.xml uhg Obtaining the Wrocco Source Code ugy uai Legal information  uad Wrocco uds   is an experimental software project in pre-alpha state. It is only intended for experienced programmers who can read and understand uaa vba source code and estimate the risks involved. By using uad Wrocco uds   the user agrees that he will use it entirely on his own risk and will backup all data before using uad Wrocco . uad Wrocco uds   is not public domain. It is copyright 2002 by uas Stefan Ram . uad Wrocco uds   may be uae used uds   for free but uad Wrocco uds   or any of its parts may not be redistributed as it is or as part of other software by anyone else than Stefan Ram and it may not be mirrored on any other server. It also may not be redistributed via software collections in any form. ugy uad Wrocco uds   can be obtained via a uaa http get request as a simple text file with its uaa vba source code using the following uaa uri . ugy uri http://www.purl.org/stefan_ram/raw/wrocco uhg Installing uad Wrocco ugy From Word press ual Alt - ual F11 to go to uaa vba . In uaa vba use ual Ctrl - ual R to view the project explorer window. Use the context menu to send the message Insert/Module to your document template file in the project explorer window. A new empty module window should open. Paste the complete Wrocco source code into this window. Save your document template. uhg Configuring uad Wrocco ugy In the source code, search for " uat Sub Main ". In the next line, edit the text " uat c:\ " to the desired output directory. uhg Running uad Wrocco ugy To start Wrocco, move the Cursor to the text " uat Sub Main " and press the key ual F5 . The active document will be written out as an uaa xml file. If you learn more about uaa vba , you will learn more about its features and it will see possibilities to start macros even easier. But this is not the right place to teach uaa vba . uhg Future Directions ugy I intend to release additional products to support uad Wrocco . For example, the uaa xml application it uses is not specified. You have to guess the meanings of the elements from the source. There is no uaa dtd yet nor are uaa xsl -examples. uhg Comments? ugy I appreciate any bug reports or comments.
