Content extraction from Mac Word forms

[Matthew F]

I read on these forums that the Windows version of Word is necessary to add Content Controls to a Word document. Word 2011 on the Mac has the ability to add "Text box", "Check box", "Combo box" from the Developer tab. Isn't this the same thing?

If so, I'm wondering how a field is identified by Scribe. Under Word options for the field, is the "Bookmark" the same thing as the field name in Scribe?

I don't see an example file in the Scribe Demo that extracts data from a Word form, only from PDFs and Excel sheets. Does someone have an example of this?

As far as I know this is not the same thing, and Content Control fields can only be created on Word in Windows. You should specify the name of the content control field you wish to extract the text from. You can place a word document in the Container 2 field in the "Extract Field" demo to see an example of this.

Thanks. I'll borrow someone's PC and try it out.
