Reading an XML file, general question
Hi all,
This time, I just have a quick question, and I can't seem to get a straight answer from anyone I know. I'm thinking about getting Microsoft Word 2007 soon, and from what I've heard, since it's XML formatted, you can read it right into Java as a Word file (that is, you don't have to bother converting it to text) with a FileReader and BufferedReader, then parse it just like you would a text file. Is that true?
Thanks,

I've got Word 2003 and it has the option to save as XML. I created the document with the contents "Hello, world!".
Here is the XML produced (I was nice and indented it.)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<?mso-application progid="Word.Document"?>
<w:wordDocument

Arg! the filter is stripping out some stuff, but you get the idea.
