How to set properties of content controls in xml/xsd
Hi all, In Word, I have an xml file for the content controls that I use in templates. I use this file from >Developers >XML Mapping Pane.
Currently, my xml only lists control names:, like:
<XXTemplates xmlns="XX_templates">
<XXDocDate/>
<XXDepartmentName/>
</XXTemplates>
I would like to add some properties to these definitions, like type (date, text only, etc.), default tag, default info text, locking information, etc. I have searched the internet, but so far, I have found no simple help for this. The only thing I have discovered, it that I need te create an xsd file for this? And what statements should it hold?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
- Hi Doug,
Many thanks for the links; Greg's site AND his tool are really very helpful!
The tool is very useful for placing CCs from a Custom XML Part (and much more). However, I am looking for the ability to set properties of the CCs in the Custom XML Part. For example: how do I indicate in the Custom XML Part that a certain CC is of type PlainText, or that a certain CC must always have the tag 'XYZ', etc.?
Do you have any more tips?
