pink xml fields missing now nate 20.12.2005 17:21:03 Also posted this to the word.vba.general The following link give an understanding of what I am doing: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/WordXMLCDK/html/cdktXSLTInferenceSeedDocument_HV01141472.asp The question is not necessarily how to do this but why something happens along this process. if I take my data.xml file and open it in word without a transform I can see the pink tags. Then I manipulate that and add tables and graphics etc. I then save that as a new file XSLtemplate.xml With the XSLtemplate.xml file still open in word I save it again as XSLtemplate2.xml for troubleshooting purposes. Now the currently open doc is XSLtemplate2.xml I open XSLtemplate.xml in another word window. It is still the same as XSLtemplate2.xml with the pink xml datafields etc. I now close XSLtemplate2.xml and run the wml2xslt.exe on XSLtemplate2.xml to convert it to an xsl file. two warnings but no big deal. I get the .xsl file that I need and I can then do the open data.xml with transform and get the output that I want. The problem now I still have XSLtemplate.xml open and it still shows the pink fields etc. BUT when I open XSLtemplate2.xml in word it doesn't have the pink tags any more. I can even close XSLtemplate2.xml and then save XSLtempate.xml that still has the tags showing as XSLtemplate2.xml and then re-save it as XSLtemplate.xml hopping to restore the pink tags to XSLtemplate2.xml. Now that I resaved it as XSLtemplate.xml I can open XSLtemplate2.xml in a new window and it still is missing the pink tags. Can anyone tell me what is going on here? Thanks

If a transform is being executed when a document is opened (it's linked to a schema + solution (transform) loaded in the schema library) that transform will be applied automatically. So you won't see the tags. If you display the XML-Structure task pane, you should be able to force display of the tags by clicking the checkbox underneath the first list?

Re: pink xml fields missing now nate 22.12.2005 18:18:02 Maybe the quick answer is cntrl + shift + X that toggles xml field tags... Ultimatly there is something I don't get about why it shows them in the merged result initially but then doesn't on subsequent opens. I will have to think this question over more to post a more clear question.
