Me too!
I've read the help file but I've not got a clue what to do with it!
I'm off to download some tutorials!

Microsoft help files are generally awful. The MFC reference for Windows CE is absolutely frightful. The amount of time I've spent running around in circles trying to find out something really simple...

The XML DOM is pretty horrendous, I agree. This is mainly because it tries to be 'standards compliant'. There must be much better ways of representing a document tree in memory.
I'll keep you posted on how my investigations are going. The main problem I've found with adapting Word as a GuideML editor is that it is difficult to identify and isolate 'runs' of text with the same formatting attributes. Or I'm just looking in the wrong place. Anyway, the difficulty is in parsing the document into runs. Hence the reliance upon HTML export to identify them. Long-winded, but necessary.
