An instance of this part contains the names of custom file properties that apply to the package, their values, and the types of those values. A custom file property might be the name of the client for whom the document was prepared, a date/time on which some event happened, a document number, or some Boolean status flag.

A package shall contain at most one Custom File Properties part, and that part shall be the target of a relationship in the package-relationship item for the document.

example:

<Relationships xmlns="…">
  <Relationship Id="rId4" 
  Type="http://…/custom-properties" Target="docProps/custom.xml"/>
</Relationships>

The root element for a part of this content type shall be< Properties>.

example:

<Properties … xmlns:vt="…">
  <property fmtid="{D5C…9AE}" pid="2" name="Client">
    <vt:lpwstr>ACME Corp.</vt:lpwstr>
  </property>
  <property fmtid="{D5C…9AE}" pid="3" name="Document number">
    <vt:i4>1543</vt:i4>
  </property>
  <property fmtid="{D5C…9AE}" pid="4" name="Recorded date">
    <vt:filetime>2005-12-01T05:00:00Z</vt:filetime>
  </property>
  <property fmtid="{D5C…9AE}" pid="5" name="Special processing needed">
    <vt:bool>false</vt:bool>
  </property>
</Properties>

A Custom File Properties part shall be located within the package containing the source relationship (expressed syntactically, the @TargetMode attribute of the <Relationship> element shall be Internal).

A Custom File Properties part shall not have implicit or explicit relationships to other parts defined by this Standard.
