OpenXML in word processing – Custom XML part – mapping flat data

In my first blog I wrote short introduction about OpenXML in word processing and how we can work with word documents in ABAP. In this blog I will describe custom xml part of word document and give some examples how we can use it in ABAP. For example how custom data can be used in on demand printing requests to provide customer data in document with content control.

Custom XML parts were introduced in Microsoft word 2007 along with Open XML formats. Custom part of microsoft word document is used to store custom data and it is not suprising that data format is XML. In connection to Custom XML we will use also Content Control functionality of Microsoft Word. Custom Control is set of individual objects to control and customize content of the document. One of its purpose is to map data from different sources (in our example from custom XML) to exact place in word document. So let’s go with example.
