April 25, 2011 at 5:45 pm · Filed under Open XML, WordprocessingML

Fields are one of the most powerful components of WordprocessingML markup.  You will see field markup in hyper-links, the TOC, dates, page references, calculated values, and much more.  I’ve been asked a few questions lately about fields in WordprocessingML markup.  Fields are perhaps one of the least understood aspects of WordprocessingML markup, but they are really not very hard.  I’ve embarked on a four part series to explain field markup, show some example code that makes it easier to work with fields, and then show some code that reliably retrieves all hyper-links in an Open XML WordprocessingML markup.  The following video is the first of this four part series:

    Hi Jean,

    Part 1: http://openxmldeveloper.org/archive/2011/04/25/143067.aspx
    Part 2: http://openxmldeveloper.org/archive/2011/04/27/143766.aspx
    Retrieving Fields: http://openxmldeveloper.org/archive/2011/05/03/145486.aspx

    One way to find links to screen-casts that I’ve recorded is to look in the WordprocessingML portion of my blog TOC. You may be interested to look around at the other Open XML content, too.
