Word to XML conversion

Graham specialises in the large volume conversion of Word or RTF files to XML. He has much experience in this area and has a large and comprehensive library of conversion modules. He can therefore assemble sophisticated conversion routines that meet the most demanding requirements.

Graham’s RTF conversion process handles the full range of complex structures required of an RTF converter.

The process allows all features of RTF tables to be converted both to and from RTF. It also allows multi-column text, outlines, styled text and other complex structures to be converted fully and automatically from RTF into XML and vice versa.

Although RTF is a documented standard, this standard frequently changes. RTF produced by one version of Word will be different to the RTF produced by another. Graham’s automatic routines can cater for these differences.

Graham is able to convert documents stored in any version of RTF into XML. He can then, if required, convert from XML into a standardised, style-driven RTF application (such as Word). Using this method, authors and editors can continue to use Microsoft Word, while the business can enjoy the benefits of XML.

Conversion of Word files to S1000D-conformant XML files

S1000D is an international specification for the procurement and production of technical publications. It is an SGML/XML standard for preparing, managing, and using equipment maintenance and operations information.

Graham has developed a process that enables the automatic conversion of Word documents into XML files that conform to the S1000D standard. The automated nature of the process means that conversion takes place more quickly and is therefore more time- and cost-effective.

Naturally, discretion is paramount when handling the types of files needing conversion to XML files that conform to the S1000D standard. Graham has considerable experience of working with such sensitive data. He has also signed the Official Secrets Act.
