Remarks

[ISO/IEC 29500-1 1st Edition]

17.15.1.73 saveFormsData (Only Save Form Field Content)

This element specifies that saving the contents of this document shall only save the contents of WordprocessingML form fields defined using the FORMTEXT, FORMCHECKBOX, and FORMDROPDOWN field codes in a comma-delimited text format which does not conform to ISO/IEC 29500 (i.e. it is a one-way export from a WordprocessingML document).

[Rationale: This setting is typically used to allow duplication of paper forms in electronic WordprocessingML document form, allowing the resulting content to be extracted as a comma-delimited text file. end rationale]

If this element is omitted, then the contents of the entire document (not just form fields) should be saved according to the definition of WordprocessingML in ISO/IEC 29500.

[Example: Consider a WordprocessingML document which has form fields in the top right and bottom left corners of the first page, as follows (with the text box form fields shaded in grey):

If the only content which must be saved are the form fields' contents, this requirement is specified using the following WordprocessingML in the document settings:

<w:saveFormsData w:val="true" />

The saveFormsData element's val attribute as a value of true, specifying that only form field data must be saved, resulting in output as follows in a text file:

one,two

end example]

This element’s content model is defined by the common boolean property definition in §17.17.4.
