Create an XML map?

B

Bill Cohagan

I'm just trying out Excel 2003 and have almost immediately hit a wall. I've
got an existing spreadsheet and would like to save it as an XML file. I can
save it as an XML Spreadsheet file, but I'd prefer a simpler XML
representation. I assume that if I had an "XML map" I might be able to do
that, but I can't find anywhere in the docs that explains how to construct
such a thing. It appears that you *use* existing XML maps, but how the heck
do you create one from scratch?

Thanks in advance for any advice or pointers into the docs.

PS - the Help in Excel 2003 is SLOOOOOOOOOW. Any reason for that?

You're welcome. I noticed that the downloads from that article don't
work. You could download the expense report sample instead:


http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...01-7A80-4179-BA9C-FC25AA278B96&displaylang=en

It includes a schema file that you can view in Notepad (Open Notepad,
choose File>Open. Under 'Files of type', select 'All files')

The companion article:

http://office.microsoft.com/assista...ID=HA011109661033&CTT=4&Origin=CH010503791033

has a link to instructions on creating a schema file.
