It's nice that it can output it in some sort of XML, but I wouldn't want it in Microsoft Word XML format. Microsoft file formats are proprietary and have a tendency to change at every release.
We don't have to worry about Microsoft, we have to worry about what the OCR program puts out. Which will most likely be a subset of the stable, well-documented part of Word XML. In any case, XML is just a storage format. This discussion is much like asking if the OCR program will output zip files; what matters is what's in the files. There's no reason to switch from the current use of RTF unless there's more information available through another format, be it an XML based one or not. We're going to have to switch it into our formats, anyway. -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm
