Accessing Properties of an xml file in Word 2007

Question

I am writing style sheet for MS Word 2007 and I want to add a template using < xsl : template > element which accesses Properties of Word 2007 document. (Template, TotalTime, etc.) Can someone provide me with the code to start this?

Answer 1

At the stylesheet level, declare the namespaces prefixes you wish to use for namespaces in the Word 2007 Flat OPC XML:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:w="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main"
    xmlns:ep="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/extended-properties"
    xmlns:pkg="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/xmlPackage"
    xmlns:vt="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/docPropsVTypes">

To remove the <Template> extended property (from what would be app.xml in a zipped up docx):

<xsl:template match="ep:Template" />
