Open XML SDK 2.0 for Microsoft Office - Parsing Error

Question

Hi

Not sure who to report this or the fix, however when you use the tool on say a Powerpoint with you have added an embedded object (e.g. say a web browser), it will give an error like

"Open XML SDK 2.0 Productivity Tool for Microsoft Office

Cannot open the file: Part /ppt/drawings/vmlDrawingl.vml: ‘if’ is an

unexpected token. The expected token is ‘CDATA[’. Line 15, position 6.

"

the issue is related to the code in the VML file which looks something like :

<! [if gte mso 9] --><v:imagedata o:relid="rId1" o:title=""/>
<! [endif] --><p:tag name="URL" type="string"

>> So not sure how to get around this or how i request Microsoft to provide a tick box option to allow this syntax ?

Thanks

Hi Greg,

Thanks for posting in the MSDN Forum.

I can't reproduce your issue on my side. It works fine. I tried embedded a Excel document in my slide and open it via Open XML SDK 2.0 Productivity Tool for Microsoft Office. No error has been found. I would recommed you show your senario to me for reproduce your issue.

Have a good day,

Tom

Thanks Tom

I can reproduce this in a single slide :

Powerpoint 2010, Developer tools, Click on the last icon, more tools, insert "Microsoft Web Browser", scale the rectangle, save, then open.
