<w:fldSimple w:instr="FILENAME">
  <w:r>
    <w:t>Example Document.docx</w:t>

Attributes

Description

<dirty> (Field Result Invalidated)

Specifies that this field has been flagged by an application to indicate that its current results are invalid (stale) due to other modifications made to the document, and these contents should be updated before they are displayed if this functionality is supported by the next processing application.

[: This functionality allows applications with limited subsets of the full functionality of this Office Open XML Standard to process Word Open XML documents without needing to understand and update all fields based on the semantics for their field codes.

For example, an application can add a new paragraph and flag the table of contents as dirty, without needing to understand anything about how to recalculate that field's content. ]

If this attribute is omitted, then its value shall be assumed to be false.

<w:fldSimple w:instr="AUTHOR" w:dirty="true"/>

The @dirty attribute value of true specifies that the contents of this field are no longer current based on the contents of the document, and should be recalculated whenever an application with this functionality reads the document. ]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_OnOff simple type (§2.18.67).

<fldLock> (Field Should Not Be Recalculated)

Specifies that the parent field shall not have its field result recalculated, even if an application attempts to recalculate the results of all fields in the document or a recalculation is explicitly requested.

If this attribute is omitted, then its value shall be assumed to be false.

<w:fldSimple w:instr="AUTHOR" w:fldLock="true">
  <w:r>
    <w:t>Rex Jaeschke</w:t>
  </w:r>
</w:fldSimple>

The @fldLock attribute value of true specifies that the contents of this field shall remain Rex Jaeschke regardless of the actual result of the current field codes. ]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_OnOff simple type (§2.18.67).

<instr> (Field Codes)

Specifies the field codes for the simple field. The possible field codes are defined in §2.16.5.

<w:fldSimple w:instr="AUTHOR" w:fldLock="true">
  <w:r>
    <w:t>Rex Jaeschke</w:t>
  </w:r>
</w:fldSimple>

The @instr attribute specifies the field codes for this simple field to be AUTHOR. ]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_String simple type (§2.18.89).
