Generate a Word document (docx) using data from an XML file / Convert XML to a Word document based on a template

Question

I have an XML file with the data that I need to be populated on a Word document.

I need to find a way, to define a template which can be used as a base line to populate

Answer 1

We created an automated way to have XML file data populate into a Word or PowerPoint document. We utilize an add-in that uses content controls to link the Excel content (ranges, tables, charts, shapes, etc.) to Word or PowerPoint. The links are portable and robust. It's also easy to update if you need to make any changes do your documents. You can find the add-in through your Excel application - just search add-ins "Excel-to-Word Document Automation" through "Get Add-ins" on the Insert tab. You can also find out more about it here.
