Hi Susan -- It's unclear what version of MS Word your reader uses. MS Word 2003 introduced so called WordProcessingML (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WordProcessingML) and MS Word 2007 - Open Office XML (OOXML - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Office_XML_formats) - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa338205.aspx. WordProcessingML seems to be depreciated now. When you're trying to save a doc with WordProcessingML elements (in MS Word 2010) you're getting a message: "The file contains custom XML elements which are no longer supported by Word. If you save this file, these custom XML elements will be removed permanently." I worked with OOXML MS Word and MS Excel docs - Custom XML Parts etc. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb398244.aspx). last autumn using them in a C# project via Open XML SDK 2.0 (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5124). I must note that was a "hardcore stuff" for beginners (as I was that time). Open XML SDK allows to almost completely avoid MS Word (and MS Excel) Automation/Mail Merge when generating MS Word/MS Excel/MS PowerPont/... documents from scratch or using templates... Try to get cleared what MS Word version and what XML implementation applied to MS Word docs your reader uses. Here is a link on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb386290.aspx (Walkthrough: Creating a Template By Using Content Controls). It uses C# and VB.NET but it's possible to use MS Word VBA (IDE) to repeat the steps from that walkthrough)... I do not know how to create MS Word documents templates using custom XML parts *without using code*. If you'll find a way how to do that please post the links/walk-through here.. I must also note that I'm not working with MS Word XML (WordProcessingML and/or Custom XML Parts and/or .... ?) on regular basis so I could be missing some other options... Thank you. -- Shamil Sat 24 Nov 2012 10:28:46 от "Susan Harkins" <ssharkins at gmail.com>: > > > > >From a reader -- truly have no clue what he's talking about.
