Thread: Anybody know about .xml files

I am not a computer wizard and I need help. I do some editorial work and always use MS Word. I now need to convert a Word file to .xml format. I have done some research on the internet and discovered a (for me at least) prohibitively complicated series of commands for performing this task. I wonder if there is any software available that will enable me to make a more simple conversion?

On my Mac using Word 2011 you can open a Word file and choose "Save As..."--there is a menu of different file types, and .xml is an option.
