Hey Dave. I know you were kidding, but seriously, I did reveal a great deal of information, but I think it is good for developers to know what we are working on and for me to get as much feedback as possible to help evolve our tools.

I'm working with the Office Tools group on some things with the new XML editor that will help in developing WordML (new XML schema type for Word 2003 documents). It is very cool that Word can now save and open XML files directly, no import/export or .DOC binary files needed which eliminates the need for OLE automation or even from having to have Word to create a Word document.
