Excel 2003 XML spreadsheet - will it load into Office12? - XML SOAP

Hi, it seems there is any kind of compatibility. Spreadsheet ML (the base
for XP and 2003 XML-files) has nothing to do (it has, but it is not
important) with the new fileformat (this is - in short - a couple of files
zipped in an archive), but it seems there are many posibilities to save a
workbook in other formats.

Hi,

Thanks for replying to my question. But I'm afraid I don't understand your
answer! Will 2003 XML Spreadsheets load into Office 12 - a simple yes or no
(ja oder nein, bitte!) is what I was hoping for!

Thanks!

Pete

It's difficult for people to answer questions about an unreleased product
with certainty. But if you read the FAQ at

http://www.microsoft.com/office/prev...lefaq.mspx#ERH

it says

"All of the XML formats available in previous releases of Microsoft Office
will be fully supported in Microsoft Office "12"."

Is that a yes or no answer? :-)

an addition: I wrote in my first answer "it seems" instead of "yes", because
it is a "yes" in the beta-release.

Thank you to Dr. Pfeifer and to Peter Jamieson. I'm pleased that it seems
the answer is 'Yes', appreciate Office 12 is still in beta, and apologise if
my reply to Dr. Pfeifer's message seemed impatient - that was certainly not
my intention, and I apologise if it is the case. I appreciate the time you
both spent in helping me - thank you.

Pete
