Using Word's XML Features

XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a data format used by many industries to easily exchange information between different applications. If you save your document as XML, it can be imported by many different applications and displayed many different ways. One of the core XML advantages is the separation between the content and the way it is formatted. Another benefit of XML is that you can define your own tags, specific to your industry.
