xslt header/footer for word

loukiachr · September 30th, 2009, 02:05 AM

Hello,

I want to create a word 2003 type document (.doc). I have a xml file and a xslt file. The first one has the data the second has the style. Then I combine these two through my c# code and create the doc file.

Can you please help me into solving the below issues concerning the xslt?

1)how can I define how big are the page margins?(top bottom left and right?)

2)how can I define what is written in each pageâs header and footer (I want all pages to have the same header and footer which will be a text that I will enter hardcoded)

Thank you very much for your help in advance

I am not familiar with the .doc document format and I am kind of astonished that you say you use XSLT to create it.
I don't think the problem you have is an XSLT problem, rather it is a question of knowledge about the .doc document format and how margin or header/footer are defined in it. You might want to look for a forum about Word.

If you can specify the transformation you want to implement, then we can help you turn this specification into XSLT code. If you can't specify the transformation, then your problem is not an XSLT problem, and you're unlikely to get help on this forum.

I remember reading that the specification for Microsoft's Office XML formats is many thousands of pages long. Understanding it therefore needs rather specialized expertise.
