Re: Converting .doc files to .xml

How about using MS Word 2003? The "File->Save As" dialog box allows
you to select XML as a file type. This saves the document as WordML,
which has all of the metadata you are looking for.

If you need this to be command line, then your best bet is to probably
write some VBA or C# code to fire up Word in the background.
