Re: Mapping Content Controls to External XML

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi Greg,

Mostly academic at this point, but...

Where a user could enter common data in a data *** then create a batch of
documents that share that data. Then later edit the data *** and have
those edits reflected in the documents achieved reasonable success

Best would probably be to use an Excel *** and link in the data from there.

As Peter says, there's really nothing in the Office XML functionality that
is two-way. You can get this with a VSTO 2008 document-level customization.
That extends ContentControls to link with an outside data source. (Does the
work for you that Peter describes.)
