Remarks

[ISO/IEC 29500-1 1st Edition]

18.3.1.22 customPr (Custom Property)

The custom property element provides a mechanism to store name/value pairs of arbitrary user-defined data. The name is stored in the attribute name, the arbitrary data is stored in the binary part referenced by the relationshipId.

[Note: There is nothing in the binary part except the arbitrary data itself.

Custom XML Data Properties provide a preferred mechanism for storing arbitrary data. The customPr supports legacy third-party document components, as well as those situations that have a stringent need for binary parts. end note]
