Currently we are using a Word Document for the input to Aspose.Words but want to store the template into the application resources. Since a Word Template would be stored as a Binary file, we began to explore storing it as an Word XML file.
Our test was performed without storing the XML into the resources - we first want to ascertain if the XML option is viable for the Aspose.Words.
Can you provide a code sample for that shows how we should be implementing this approach when using XML in a resource to generate a Word document?
Thanks,

Hi
Thanks for your request. Aspose.Words fully supports reading and writing WordprocessingML documents. See the following link for more information.
http://www.aspose.com/Products/Aspose.Words/Api/WordprocessingMLXML.html
You can open WML template using the following code
Document doc = new Document("in.xml")
Or
Document doc = new Document(stream)
You should use the following code to save document in WML format.
doc.Save("out.xml", SaveFormat.WordML)
Or
doc.Save(stream, SaveFormat.WordML)
Best regards.
