I think He is talking about MS Office 2003. Betas are available, although they might not reflect the final product in all respects. In the XML Cover Pages website, under Articles, there are references to articles and postings about the formats used by MS Word, as well as the format proposed for Open Office. I have recently bought an upgrade to WordPerfect 11. It can export its files in Docbook 4.2 format. In versions 9 through 11, you can create a template based on a DTD such as the NISO Z39.86 DTBook110.dtd and create XML files directly. None of this is going to lessen the pain of creating clean, well-structured XHTML files from arbitrary Word or WPD documents.
