Dashed by Microsoft removing Custom XML elements

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hi,
We had planned to use our Schema to control added definitions by way of the Custom XML methods but it seems that Microsoft has removed the ability to save them.
I am trying to use Word Comment fields as a substitute but am finding it a bit below Par.

Does anyone know a better method to simulate what the Custom XML offered without going to a API or custom script?

Cheers

Could you please share some more information about your query what exact you want to achieve by using Aspose.Words?

It would be great if you please manually create your expected Word document using Microsoft Word and attach it here for our reference. We will investigate as to how you want your final Word output be generated like. We will then provide you more information on this along with code.

Hi,
In our solution we are storing Word data as component paragraphs, table, lists.
We use Aspose to convert a word document to these components and then to create small Word
documents containing some of these components.
We have a need to pass database component identity as part of the Word data and configure it so that it stays with the components and cannot be removed. Likewise to pass component identity with components e.g. this is the xxxyyy table.

We had hoped to tie a Schema into Word and allow custom xml to service these needs but now find that its not available.

So the question was to see if anyone knows a way to achieve this type of functionality without going down the road of plug-in’s or extensive VB scripts?

Cheers

Thanks for your inquiry. You can extract specific contents from document e.g table, paragraphs, lists etc and save these contents into database and also load these contents into Aspose.Words DOM. Please read following documentation links for your kind reference.
