1. Simple Types

The subordinate clauses describe XML simple types that are used by Office to read and write Office Open XML files.

1.1. ST_Fraction (Fraction Type)

This simple type specifies numerical, floating point data in one of three ways.

The first form is the standard decimal form used by the XML Schema decimal datatype.  Valid values for this form are all decimals in the range [-32768, 32767].

The second form is an integer number with a postfixed “f” character.  Each integer represents 1/65536 so that a value of “65536f” equates to a decimal value of 1.0.  Valid values for this form are all integers in the range [-2147483648, 2147418112] followed by the postfixed “f”.

The third form is equivalent to the second, except that the “f” postfixed character is replaced by the string “fd”.  This is used when expressing angular measurements.

This simple type's contents are a restriction of the XML Schema string datatype.

The following XML Schema fragment defines the contents of this simple type:

1.2. ST_Macro (Custom Function Name Type)

This simple type specifies the name of a custom function associated with the object. This string shall follow the same grammar as name-reference in section "[ISO/IEC-29500-1] §18.17.2.5".

This simple type's contents are a restriction of the XML Schema string datatype.

This simple type also specifies the following restrictions:

·         This simple type's contents have a minimum length of 0 characters.

·         This simple type's contents have a maximum length of 256 characters.

The following XML Schema fragment defines the contents of this simple type:

1.3. ST_ObjID (Object ID)

In Office 2007, Object IDs are either object names or an ID number.

An object name has the following characteristics:

·         It is not an ID number.

·         There is no shape with the same name in the:

·         same worksheet, for Excel 2007.

·         same slide, for PowerPoint 2007.

·         same document, for Word 2007.

·         header, for Word 2007.

·         It is not an embedded object, for Excel 2007 and Word 2007.

If it is an object name and contains NCR (Numeric Character Reference) characters, they are escaped using the Unicode numerical character representation escape character format _xHHHH_, where H represents a hexadecimal character. If the string already contains escaped characters in this format, then the first underscore character (_) of the escape sequence shall be escaped.

An ID number is defined by the ST_SpId simple type (/.aspx - bookDD84003C-2DA3-4519-9BCB-4BF3EFF82294).

This simple type's contents are a restriction of the XML Schema token datatype.

This simple type also specifies the following restrictions:

·         This simple type's contents have a maximum length of 255 characters.

The following XML Schema fragment defines the contents of this simple type:

1.4. ST_ObjIDRef (Object ID Reference)

This simple type specifies a reference to an object ID.  It starts with an optional ‘#’ which is followed by an object ID number or an object name as described in the ST_ObjID simple type (/.aspx - book327A420D-3CFA-4043-9A6B-9626BD935FFB).

This simple type's contents are a restriction of the XML Schema token datatype.

The following XML Schema fragment defines the contents of this simple type:

1.5. ST_ShapeType (Shape Type)

This simple type specifies the kinds of shapes a VML shape can represent.  [Rationale: An application may use this to indicate that a VML shape represents a particular conceptual shape type. end rationale]

This simple type's contents are a restriction of the XML Schema int datatype.

This simple type also specifies the following restrictions:

·         This simple type has a minimum value of greater than or equal to 0.

·         This simple type has a maximum value of less than or equal to 202.

The following XML Schema fragment defines the contents of this simple type:

1.6. ST_SpId (Shape ID Type)

A shape ID has the following characteristics:

·         It begins with “_x0000_” followed by 1 character and a number: _x0000_[c]<num>

·         The character [c] is:

·          ‘t’ or ‘m’ when used for a shapetype element ("[ISO/IEC-29500-4] §14.1.2.20; shapetype (Shape Template)").

·         ‘s’ when used for a shape.

·         Shape IDs always start at 1025.

·         Shape IDs are clustered together, and each cluster has 1024 values.  The first cluster ranges from 1025 to 2048.

·         Shape IDs within the same cluster may only exist in:

·         one worksheet, for Excel 2007.

·         one slide, for PowerPoint 2007.

·         one document, for Word 2007.

·         the header, for Word 2007.

·         ‘s’ or ‘i’ for shapes that are inline (not floating) in Word 2007.

·         <num> shall be between 1 and 268435456.

·         It does not contain NCR (Numeric Character Reference) characters.

Office 2007 does not guarantee that the same shape ID that is loaded is preserved on file save.
