Parameters

Returns

Remarks

[ API set: WordApi 1.4 ]

If any element in the tree has an xmlns attribute (whose value is typically, but not always, a URI), an alias for that attribute value must prefix the element name in the xpath parameter. For example, suppose the tree is the following:

<Day>
  <Month xmlns="http://calendartypes.org/xsds/GregorianCalendar">
    <Week>something</Week>
  </Month>
</Day>

The xpath to <Week> must be /Day/greg:Month/Week, where greg is an alias that is mapped to "http://calendartypes.org/xsds/GregorianCalendar" in the namespaceMappings parameter.

Deletes the element identified by xpath.

Overrides the JavaScript toJSON() method in order to provide more useful output when an API object is passed to JSON.stringify(). (JSON.stringify, in turn, calls the toJSON method of the object that's passed to it.) Whereas the original Word.CustomXmlPart object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as Word.Interfaces.CustomXmlPartData) that contains shallow copies of any loaded child properties from the original object.

toJSON(): Word.Interfaces.CustomXmlPartData;

Returns

Track the object for automatic adjustment based on surrounding changes in the document. This call is a shorthand for context.trackedObjects.add(thisObject). If you're using this object across .sync calls and outside the sequential execution of a ".run" batch, and get an "InvalidObjectPath" error when setting a property or invoking a method on the object, you need to add the object to the tracked object collection when the object was first created. If this object is part of a collection, you should also track the parent collection.

track(): Word.CustomXmlPart;

Returns

Release the memory associated with this object, if it has previously been tracked. This call is shorthand for context.trackedObjects.remove(thisObject). Having many tracked objects slows down the host application, so please remember to free any objects you add, once you're done using them. You'll need to call context.sync() before the memory release takes effect.

untrack(): Word.CustomXmlPart;

Returns

Updates the value of an attribute with the given name of the element identified by xpath.

updateAttribute(xpath: string, namespaceMappings: {
            [key: string]: string;
        }, name: string, value: string): void;

Parameters

Returns

Remarks

[ API set: WordApi 1.4 ]

If any element in the tree has an xmlns attribute (whose value is typically, but not always, a URI), an alias for that attribute value must prefix the element name in the xpath parameter. For example, suppose the tree is the following:

<Day>
  <Month xmlns="http://calendartypes.org/xsds/GregorianCalendar">
    <Week>something</Week>
  </Month>
</Day>

The xpath to <Week> must be /Day/greg:Month/Week, where greg is an alias that is mapped to "http://calendartypes.org/xsds/GregorianCalendar" in the namespaceMappings parameter.

Updates the XML of the element identified by xpath.

updateElement(xpath: string, xml: string, namespaceMappings: {
            [key: string]: string;

Parameters
