No support for XML in Word 97 or 2000.

Beginning with Word2003 there was some XML support. Save as WordML. Use custom schemas.

Using Word for XML editing, most applications allow for saving invalid XML. Cleaned up in "real" XML editor (e.g., Arbortext or Stylus Studio) later.

Word2007 uses XML (WordML) as its native format (saved in this format by default).
