Can I write a WordprocessingDocument as a WordML document?

[David Thielen]

Is there some way to have it create the Word 2003 XML version of an
OpenXML document?

thanks - dave

No.

From this blog article, we can see the picture how Open XML works,
http://blogs.msdn.com/brian_jones/archive/2009/04/08/announcing-the-release-
of-the-open-xml-sdk-version-2-april-2009-ctp.aspx

Open XML SDK is built on the low level API of,
1. .NET Framework 3.5
2. System.IO.Packaging
3. Open XML Schemas

All that Open XML SDK knows is just constructing document according to the
OpenXML Schema. So the API only read/write XML content to the FileStream.

But WordML 2003 is totally another format which OpenXML SDK is not aware.
So we cannot achieve this objective.
