BI Publisher (Formerly Known as XML Publisher)

Does BI Publisher (XML Publisher) support Microsoft Word-XML-Document format as template ?

Solution

BI Publisher (XML Publisher) supports the following formats only:
  1. XSL-FO
  2. PDF template
  3. RTF template
The Word-XML-Document is not included in the supported template formats.
BI Publisher (XML Publisher) is using RTF and XSL-FO standards,
where PDF and RTF templates are converted in loading to XSL-FO.
So it is advisable to follow the supported features to avoid any problems that may be caused from Word 2003 conversion to XML Template.
