MS-Word to iXBRL

Question

Hi,

I need to develop a MS-Word plug in application using VS2008 that converts a docx file having content controls to iXBRL format. iXBRL format is a relatively new financial statement standard.

Are there any APIs to help me out or can anyone give me idea to go ahead with it?

Thanks in advance.

Regards, Saubhagya

Answer 1

I've found a way but it will be great if anybody could help in achieving this or give some insight whether I'm right.

Solution is:

Save the file as an html file and edit the tags using XML DOM in C#. But as I'm new to C# I'm not really aware how to do it efficiently. Please help.
