Conversion of formats to XML

[akhilesh maheshwari]

Hi,
I am trying to write an application that can convert a word document or a excel spreadsheet to XML format. Is there any free help available on the internet about this?
It would be gerat if someone could help me with links of such places.
Thanks,

Hi,
I don't know about word but if it is EXCEL then you can make a JDBC connection to convert data into XML.

Good suggestion for Excel
For Word, you could automate saving files as RTF and then use RTF2XML, a freeware under GNU Licence from XMeta:
