If you plan to use XML products other than Office, develop your own schemas, or use Office to share data with enterprise systems and Web services, you'll want to learn more about XML. As our readers will have differing experience with XML and different requirements for its use, there seemed no sensible way to intersperse detailed XML education with the Office XML tasks that are the focus of the book.
Instead we've put the detailed tutorials and references on the XML language and related standards where you can easily find them when you need them. They are in Part 3, "XML Tutorials", on page 348. The book's Table of Contents and Index can guide you to specific subjects, and we also provide appropriate cross-references to the tutorials from the Office XML task chapters in Part Two.
