Display XML element names

Note  XML features, except for saving documents as XML with the Word XML schema, are available only in Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003 and stand-alone Microsoft Office Word 2003.

If your document contains empty Extensible Markup Language (XML) elements, you can view these elements by name in the body of the document, even when the Show XML tags in the document option is off.

  1. On the Tools menu, click Templates and Add-Ins, and then click the XML Schema tab.
  2. Click XML Options.
  3. In the XML view options section, select the Show placeholder text for all empty elements check box.

ShowTip

You can specify your own placeholder text for elements by right-clicking a tag, clicking Attributes, and typing text in the Placeholder text box.
