That may be a little optimistic. The XML output from Microsoft Office
applications is notoriously convoluted, and I've done consultancy for
several projects that needed access to more XSLT experience than they could
find in-house in order to tackle the challenge. However, it's certainly
doable.

But we're way off-topic from XML Schema here.
