Microsoft 'XDocs' Office Product Supports Custom-Defined XML Schemas.
Microsoft officials have announced a new 'XDocs' Office product with scheduled availablity in the middle of 2003.

Built from the ground up to work with XML, 'XDocs' can gather information that has been generated from documents in which customers can define their own data structures in XML schemas. http://xml.coverpages.org/ni2002-10-09-a.html
