Adding our own elements to document.xml

[David Thielen]

We have to add our own tags to a file that we would like to have be
invisible (but that is not critical for our use). What does work is:

<w>
<w:r>
<w:t xml:space="preserve">Before </w:t>
</w:r>
<w:customXml w:element="firstName">
<w:customXmlPr>
<w:attr w:name="companyName" w:val='dave'/>
<w:attr w:name="companySymbol" w:val='thielen'/>
</w:customXmlPr>
</w:customXml>
<w:r>
....

But the customXml shows up. Is there a better way to do this?

thanks - dave

Hello Dave,

CustomXML is the way we add custom data in Open XML document. So it looks
good to me. Could you please elaborate the problem here. What do you mean
about "the customerXml show up" and how invisible we are trying to achieve.
Then, I will do some research to see if we can have better ways to achieve
the goal.

Hi;

We switched to using a ContentControl and that works perfectly for us.

thanks - dave
