As far as I can see, there are 2 ways to create a dynamic template file in
Word 2007:
(i) I can attach a schema file to the template. Using the XML Structure
pane, I can then drag XML elements onto the form wherever I want my template
to be populated with dynamic data.
or
(ii) I can create content controls within my template to act as placeholders
for the dynamic data.
I have noticed that I can also drag an XML element from a schema file within
a rich text content control. I am confused about the difference between the
usage of content controls, and the dragging and dropping of XML elements
from an attached schema file. It seems to me that I would always use content
controls, as they can be easily locked. Please help.
