The documentation for FibBase states that

(Consider the bold part)

pnNext (2 bytes): An unsigned integer that specifies the offset in the WordDocument stream of the FIB for the document which contains all the AutoText items. If this value is 0, there are no AutoText items attached. Otherwise the FIB is found at file location pnNext×512. If fGlsy is 1 or fDot is 0, this value MUST be 0. If pnNext is not 0, each FIB MUST share the same values for FibRgFcLcb97.fcPlcBteChpx, FibRgFcLcb97.lcbPlcBteChpx, FibRgFcLcb97.fcPlcBtePapx, FibRgFcLcb97.lcbPlcBtePapx, and FibRgLw97.cbMac.

If you look at the documentation for FibRgFcLcb97, none of the fcPlcBteChpx, lcbPlcBteChpx, fcPlcBtePapx, and lcbPlcBtePapx are mentioned.

I also downloaded the 8.1 th revision of Word (.doc) Binary File Format from here, but I could only find a single mention of each of them in the FibBase section, not in the FibRgFcLcb97 section.

    Hi HyundeokPark-6095,

    This is a typo in the fields names in 2.5.2 pnNext description. They should be FibRgFcLcb97.fcPlcfBteChpx, FibRgFcLcb97.lcbPlcfBteChpx, FibRgFcLcb97.fcPlcfBtePapx, FibRgFcLcb97.lcbPlcfBtePapx. Notice the "f" in fcPlc-f-BteChpx and the same for the others.

    I will file a bug to correct this. Thank you for bring this to our attention.

    Best regards,
