Hi Danna,

I can have a look. Please send me the document which contains the minimal reproducible issue. Also what version of Word are you using?

Thanks,

New Post: Unexpected Token - Syntax Error

Danna144 — Mon, 06 May 2013 21:50:20 GMT

Hello,

Total novice here. I have had to make updates to a previously created form. All of the fields work properly until I get to my last field named Job Title. When I try to add this to the edit fields in order to bind it to the next occurence in the Word document I receive an XML syntax error that says I have an unexepected token.

I have used the same method for the Job Title field as I did for all of the other fields in the form and they work just fine. I can't find my error.

I found that "Ink Signature" in my case was a culprit.

If you want to ignore "Fail to open. Object reference not set to an instance of an object." and continue WCC load your file edit:

add:

 if (prXmlItemProp == null)

As Matt says, you can bind a rich text control. However, you can work
around this to some extent if you are prepared to 'resolve' the
bindings yourself.

I do this by using the content control tag to store the binding
information. See the OpenDoPE conventions web site for details.

This is a limitation of Word, not the CCT.

I am experiencing the same thing in Word 2010. I could make a lot of use out of this tool if it would allow Rich Text binding, but without it won't be able to use it at all. I was wondering if there are any plans to fix this?

New Post: Update content controls data when changing the source XML file

rioreal2 — Mon, 07 May 2012 17:05:53 GMT

Dear all,

I bound several content controls in a Word 2010 document with a XML with data file using "Word 2007 Content Control Toolkit".

My problem is that if I modified the data in the XML and save it in the same place with the same name, when I open the bound Word document, the content controls show the data of the previous XML and don't take the new values from the XML file.

Maybe I misunderstood it but, as far as I read in the documentation of this utility, "Once a Content Control is mapped it can be considered data bound such that changing the data in the store will reflect the changes to the surface, and visa versa".

Could anybody please help me to solve this issue.

Thanks in advance

I replaced custome XML part in my program and had similar issue open up my report.docx. I closed content toolkit, open report.docx in WORD, saved it then content toolkit can open report.docx.

I am not sure it helps in your case but try open the file and save using WORD then retry with content toolkit.

Good luck.

New Post: content control vsto font getting changed

Dipu863 — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 03:26:40 GMT

Hi All,

I have few content controls that I am populating with data. But in one content control, the font sometimes getting changed from whatever expected. It is happening in rare scenarios.

Is there any soluion for the same.

Is there any problem with the content control ? Below is the code we are trying to paste in the content control:-

contentControlData = "<table align= "left" style="WIDTH: 95%; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; FONT-SIZE: 16px;vertical-align:text-top;" border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 > <tbody> <tr align="left" style="width: 60px"> <td style="width: 15%">  </td> <td style="width: 21%" align='center'><b>FY 2012</b></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr align="left" style="width: 60px"> <td style="width:15%"> </td> <td style="border-top-style: solid;border-top-width:1px;border-top-color: #000000; border-top:1px;border-left:0px;border-right:0px;border-bottom:0px;width:21%;"><B>Request No.:</B> 117326</td> <td> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> '

HtmlFragment.CopyToClipboard(ReplaceSpecialCharacters.ReplacingSpecialCharacters(contentControlData).Replace("<center>", "").Replace("</center>", ""));

contentControls.get_Item(ref i).Range.Select();

Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.ActiveDocument.Application.Selection.PasteSpecial(ref missingVal, ref missingVal,ref missingVal, ref missingVal, ref typeHtml, ref missingVal, refmissingVal);

Inspite of giving FONT-SIZE : 16px, it is taking 6 px ..

Reply is appreciated.

Thanks,

New Post: Portable install of Word Content Control Toolkit?

satar — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 01:49:36 GMT

This toolkit sounds very interesting; however, I do not have admin access to my PC and it is EXTREMELY painful to get our administrator to install anything new on it. Is there any plans to create a portable installer that doesn't require administrative access? I am using Word 2010 on a Win7 PC.

Thanks Steve.

New Post: combine docx file

ngvanmy — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 07:34:27 GMT

Hi,

I'm using OpenXML to create docx file, and use Word Context Control Toolkit, it's ok.

But, I generated 200 docx file and want to combine its together, i try using DocumentBuilder, and it raise erorr at function CopyCustomXml

OpenXmlPart propertyPart = customXmlPart
                    .Parts
                    .Select(p => p.OpenXmlPart)
                    .Where(p => p.ContentType == "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.customXmlProperties+xml")
                    .First();

Here is my code

using (WordprocessingDocument wordDoc = WordprocessingDocument.Open(fileName, true))
            {
                MainDocumentPart mainPart = wordDoc.MainDocumentPart;
               // string content = "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.customXmlProperties+xml";
               // mainPart.DeletePart(
                mainPart.DeleteParts<CustomXmlPart>(mainPart.CustomXmlParts);
                //Add a new customXML part and then add the content.
                CustomXmlPart customXmlPart = mainPart.AddCustomXmlPart(CustomXmlPartType.CustomXml);
                // customXmlPart = mainPart.AddCustomXmlPart(content);
                //Copy the XML into the new part.
                using (StreamWriter ts = new StreamWriter(customXmlPart.GetStream())) ts.Write(customXML);
            }

Thanks,

New Post: object reference not set

jdubuke — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 23:21:43 GMT

Hi All,

I have an existing docx with 66 content controls in it. I used the CCToolkit to bind them all together. All is working fine.

I then used a VB.NET app that i am writing to delete the item1 and recreate it with updated data. When i look at the customxml folder inside the docx, it looks perfect. Opening the docx in Word does not show the corresponding data. So, I figured there was a problem with the binding.

Tried to open the DOCX with CCToolkit and I get the error "Failed to open. Object reference not set to an instance of the object.".

At this point I am dead in the water. I unzipped my new file and my original file and i can see no differences in any of the files other than in the customxml xml file.

Can someone point me in the right direction? I can post my code if that helps any...

Thanks,

Jerry

New Post: Issue with Saved Content Controls

loydog — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 17:32:38 GMT

Hi iyok80,

Apparently this is an issue with the namespace that you are using in the XML. My documents were somehow a part of the bibliography namespace, and so Word was interpreting them improperly. If you're creating custom fields, go ahead and add them to an entirely new namespace. If they are in an already-existing namespace, you will encounter this issue.

Go ahead and let me know if that helps.

HI! I wonder if you have already resolved this issue? I am experiencing the same problems right now. I have multiple fields but when i saved it and closed the document, the values were not save. thanks.

New Post: Cannot Open Content Control Toolkit

mrscott — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 10:52:39 GMT

What happens if you open this document in Word? Can you link to the document? (or send it to me via direct message)

New Post: Cannot Open Content Control Toolkit

rmagram — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 21:18:59 GMT

I'm using the latest OpenXML Toolkit 2.0 and create a document:

            Dim FilePath As String = "C:\OpenXMLProjects\Docs\Test.Docx"
            Using wordDocument As WordprocessingDocument = WordprocessingDocument.Create(FilePath, WordprocessingDocumentType.Document)
                wordDocument.PackageProperties.Title = "TestDoc"
                Dim mainPart As MainDocumentPart = wordDocument.AddMainDocumentPart()
                mainPart.Document = New Document()
                Dim body As Body = mainPart.Document.AppendChild(New Body())
                Dim para As Paragraph = body.AppendChild(New Paragraph())
                Dim run As Run = para.AppendChild(New Run())
                run.AppendChild(New Text("Sample Text"))
                run.AppendChild(New Text("  More Text."))
                wordDocument.Close()
            End Using

I then open the document:

            Using docMain As WordprocessingDocument = WordprocessingDocument.Open("C:\OpenXMLProjects\Docs\Test.Docx", True)

... define the main part and delete any customXMLparts:

                Dim docMainPart As MainDocumentPart = docMain.MainDocumentPart
                docMainPart.DeleteParts(Of CustomXmlPart)(docMainPart.CustomXmlParts)

... then add a customXMLPart:

                Dim docCustXMLPart As CustomXmlPart = docMainPart.AddCustomXmlPart(CustomXmlPartType.CustomXml)

... and then just close out:

                docMain.Close()
            End Using
Clearly, I intend to do more in the way of populating the customXML part with varying xml data from time to time.  But the above is enough to kill the Content Control Toolkit.
Though I'd like to do as much as possible programmatically, it looks to be a lot easier to link any content controls that I might add to the document to the xml in the customxml
file manually using the CCT.
But I get "Failed to open. Object reference not set to an instance of an object." wnen attempting to launch the tool. Can anyone suggest why.
