News of content controls (w:sdt) and data binding

Jason,

I will double check if necessary, but I think this has a bug. When I had a fresh document open, with regular binding controls in it, I did not get any options showing in the panel. In fact, it was completely blank, and then went away after I clicked in another binding.

Also - does this still only work with rows of a table? Is it possible to repeat across the columns of the ...

Jason,

I saw some posts on here, as well as the Word Content control forum that you can set up a content control in a document, giving the enclosed text a style, and it gets lost when the document is bound to custom XML.

I saw this page: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums ... 6490d958c/

But never saw a fix posted or anything.

Do you know if there was a workaround for this ...

Hi Jason,

Thanks for the prompt reply.
I have upgraded the JAXB impl to 2.2.1.
The sample did run successfully.Thanks once again.
However, the output docx file is not correctly rendered.

I am attaching both the input and output docx files.
Instead of displayText, their values are being rendered in the output file.

Could you pls have a look.

Best Regards,
Bharat

Hi,

If I am looking to add special characters to my custom XML that I am injecting into a word doc, what is the preferred method? Is it possible through docx4j, or string manipulation, or what?

I am marshalling a string to XML coming from a Java object, and it has a string token in it. I would like to replace the token in the word document with a bulleted list OR simply a carriage ...

Hello,

I have recently come across docx4j which by far is the best doc generation that I have found for java.
My setup includes:
docx4j-2.5.0
JAXB2_20100510.jar
jaxb-api-2.1.jar
jaxb-impl-2.1.2.jar
jaxp-api-1.4.1.jar
jre1.5.0_11

While I have managed to create a sample docx file, I would like to use custom XML binding.
I am trying to run the sample CustomXMLBinding.java.It throws an exception which I have attached as txt file in "Exception.zip".

I can see the dynamic value that ...

does this still only work with rows of a table? Is it possible to repeat across the columns of the word document? Say I had a list of things I wanted to somehow repeat ,across the page instead of down, with a comma after each one or a bar between them or something.

In current SVN, I've changed the way you make a content control a repeat or a conditional.

I've updated the convention document to version 2 to reflect this new approach.

In a nutshell, the reasons for the changes are:

1. content in the sdt tag is minimised, which is desirable since Word restricts the tag content to 64 characters

2. supports conditions made up of boolean expressions (though docx4j currently only processes conditions equivalent to ...

I have a table in my word document. For the first row, I set it as Repeat Header Rows (also checked 'Repeat as header row at the top of the each page' box in Table Properties). For the second row I use content control bindingrole=repeat to repeat populate my data. The data is displayed fine and extended to the second page, but the header row is not shown on the second page. (If only use ...

Hi Jason,

We found a small issue with content control data binding, we make the content control on template to be BOLD, after processing, the text for the content control is not bold any more. is it a easy fixable bug?

Cheers, have a good weekend.

Hi Jason,

Just a simple question, can I bind a xml attribute to the element of repeat control? I know it works with xml element, but not sure if it works with xml attribute.
