All that says it that in MS Word, you can save as MS Word XML, and that y=
ou=20
can then open the MS XML file, which will have all the formatting informa=
tion=20
preserved, in MS Word.

It doesn't say that in Word, you can save an MS Word XML format file as a=
n MS=20
Word .doc file.

I remember us discussing this, but I don't recall the outcome (and can't =
find=20
the message).
