How to open WordML (XML->XSLT->WordML) in MS Word without prompt

I have a xml file which gets converted to WordML format by xslt. When I
try to open that xml file in word, I get an option by MS Word "XML data
views" with the options of opening the xml file in data format or in
xslt converted format.

However, I want to skip this option and directly apply the xslt so that
when Word opens the file, the customer gets the final word view of it.
A lot of customers don't even know what to do when they get this
option.

Any help/insight would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

You really need to ask this question ion the Word XML newsgroup. You're in
the Mac Word newsgroup at the moment: we do not even HAVE XSLTs available
{mutter}.

Try microsoft.public.office.xml

Cheers

Kind of foreign to this group as John points out, but you may want to try
this:

1.. On the Tools menu, click Templates and Add-Ins, and then click the XML
Schemas tab.
2.. Click Schema Library.
3.. In the Select a schema box, click the schema that you want to
associate XSLTs with.
4.. In the Use solution with box, click Word.
5.. Click Add Solution, browse to the XSLT file, and then click Open.
6.. In the Solution Settings dialog box, select the options you want, and
type a name for the XSLT in the Alias box.
Note The name you type for the alias is the name that will appear in the
list of available data views in the XML data views task pane.

7.. Click OK.
8.. Repeat steps 4 through 6 for each of the XSLTs you want to associate
with the schema.
9.. In the Default solution box, click the name of the XSLT that you want
to be used by default.
