Second Screen-Cast in Series on Adding / Updating Tables of Contents in Open XML WordprocessingML Documents
I’ve just published the second screen-cast in this series on updating the TOC of a WordprocessingML document. In the first screen-cast, I explored the markup around TOCs. In this second screen-cast, I discuss the markup a bit more, and then introduce some code that makes it easy to add a TOC to a document. This code will become part of the PowerTools for Open XML project.
As part of the definition of each TOC, you specify a set of switches that Word uses as instructions on how to construct the TOC. This screen-cast discusses the TOC switches, and shows how to find out more about them from the text of the Open XML standard.
You can find the code that I discuss in this video on OpenXMLDeveloper.org.
Now, back to editing the third screen-cast in this series. Looks as though there are going to be four.
Here is the complete list of screen-casts in this series.
