Hi All,
Last couple of months I have been working with some of the developer tools of Office 2007 Beta 2 (courtesy: John Rayner) and it all worked pretty well until I installed an update of it ‘Beta 2 Technical Refresh’.
After installing the Technical Refresh update I was not able to open the existing word 2007 documents. The document contained some basic text, VB Macros and few Content Controls. There was some problem in the ‘word/vbData.xml’ file.
Later on I found that there were few changes in the namespace locations and also a new namespace added in the Word xml files. I thought it would be good to list out those namespaces for reference.
