Introduction to DocumentBuilder 2.0 – Screen-Cast 1 of 3<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

This post contains the first of three screen-casts that introduces DocumentBuilder 2.0, talks about interrelated markup, and explores how DocumentBuilder solves developer issues with regards to interrelated markup. While this screen-cast is a bit long (20 minutes), it will be important for developers using DocumentBuilder who want to know how DocumentBuilder works. (Video)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

Introduction to DocumentBuilder 2.0 – Screen-Cast 2 of 3<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

This screen-cast builds on the previous screen-cast where I walk through the process of transferring comments from multiple source documents into a destination document. In this screen-cast, I insert images into the comments. This introduces some complexity – the comments part has a relationship to an image part. (Video)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

This screen-cast builds on the previous two screen-casts where I walk through the process of transferring comments from multiple source documents into a destination document. In this final screen-cast in the series, I walk through some of the code in DocumentBuilder 2.0 – I explain how the code is data-driven to make it more robust, and discuss the structure of the code and how DocumentBuilder 2.0 works.

Advanced use of DocumentBuilder 2.0<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

The default approach to working with DocumentBuilder 2.0 enables you to take bits and pieces of multiple documents and assemble them together into a new document. However, there is an interesting scenario that this approach does not handle. You may want to import a document into a cell in a table, into a text box, or into a content control. You can do this with DocumentBuilder 2.0. This video shows how. (Video)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

Getting Started with Open XML PowerTools Markup Simplifier<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

In PowerTools, in the HtmlConverter project, there is a class called MarkupSimplifier, which can remove proofing errors. In addition, it can simplify WordprocessingML markup in a variety of ways, including removal of comments, content controls, and etc.
\nHere is a small screen-cast that shows the use of MarkupSimplifier. This screen-cast uses Open XML Package Editor Power Tool for Visual Studio 2010. (Article,Video)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

Updating Data for an Embedded Chart in an Open XML WordprocessingML Document<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Embedding charts in a word-processing document is a good way to put together documents that display graphical data. When you embed a chart in a document, an Open XML SpreadsheetML workbook is stored as an embedded part in the WordprocessingML document. The spreadsheet contains the data behind the chart. When you maintain that data, Word starts Excel, opening that embedded spreadsheet. (Video)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

I then use the Open XML Package Editor Power Tool for Visual Studio 2010<\/a> to examine the markup, and I use the PDF form of the ECMA 376 Second Edition Part 1<\/a> to research the markup.

Advanced use of DocumentBuilder 2.0<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

The default approach to working with DocumentBuilder 2.0 enables you to take bits and pieces of multiple documents and assemble them together into a new document. However, there is an interesting scenario that this approach does not handle. You may want to import a document into a cell in a table, into a text box, or into a content control. You can do this with DocumentBuilder 2.0. This video shows how. (Video)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

The Set-OpenXmlString cmdlet enables interesting functionality – you can do a search-and-replace of content without automating Word, and you can search-and-replace in many documents at once. The Set-OpenXmlString can search-and-replace in both WordprocessingML documents and PresentationML documents. (Video)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

Split-OpenXmlDocument cmdlet in PowerTools for Open XML<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

In document processing parlance, shredding a document is the process of dividing a source document according to certain rules, and creating a number of documents from the source document. This is useful, for instance, when you have a huge document, and you want to divide it into multiple documents to hand off to different authors or editors. Then, after all edits have been completed, you can merge the various parts back into a complete document. (Video)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

Updating Data for an Embedded Chart in an Open XML WordprocessingML Document<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Embedding charts in a word-processing document is a good way to put together documents that display graphical data. When you embed a chart in a document, an Open XML SpreadsheetML workbook is stored as an embedded part in the WordprocessingML document. The spreadsheet contains the data behind the chart. When you maintain that data, Word starts Excel, opening that embedded spreadsheet. (Video)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

Advanced use of DocumentBuilder 2.0<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

The default approach to working with DocumentBuilder 2.0 enables you to take bits and pieces of multiple documents and assemble them together into a new document. However, there is an interesting scenario that this approach does not handle. You may want to import a document into a cell in a table, into a text box, or into a content control. You can do this with DocumentBuilder 2.0. This video shows how. (Video)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

Custom XML Parts and Content Controls<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Using custom XML parts and content controls, we can create smarter documents that provide needed functionality for users. Content controls and custom XML parts enable us to integrate business data with content in a document. In addition, content controls can be used to delineate data or content in a document.

Split-OpenXmlDocument cmdlet in PowerTools for Open XML<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

In document processing parlance, shredding a document is the process of dividing a source document according to certain rules, and creating a number of documents from the source document. This is useful, for instance, when you have a huge document, and you want to divide it into multiple documents to hand off to different authors or editors. Then, after all edits have been completed, you can merge the various parts back into a complete document. (Video)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n
