How to work with Word file in Xml with VBA

[Dzony]

Hi

I have a Word Docx file. I know it's Zip. When I change extension to Zip and unpack it I can reach xml file.

How can I do this via VBA and work with XML content?

I will be grateful for your response

Grab the filename of the document. Make a copy of the file with a zip extension. There are plenty of code examples to extract files from a Zip e.g. http://www.rondebruin.nl/win/s7/win002.htm. Having extracted the files you can then process those that are amenable to VBA processing as you require.

I thought there is other more simple way :)
Thank you again gmayor

Alternatively, you can explore the .WordOpenXML and .InsertXML property and method off of a range object, if you want to modify the xml directly without having to close and re-open the document.

but this is almost as much a rabbit hole as ronde bruin's method.
