Hi,

i have created app for office 2013 and created a content control in the document.

i first bind the content control while initializing the app.

where is code for binding.

  Office.context.document.bindings.addFromNamedItemAsync(controlName, Office.BindingType.Text, { id: controlName + 'Binding' }, function (asyncResult) {
            if (asyncResult.status == Office.AsyncResultStatus.Failed) {
                //showNotificationAlert(controlName + ' Control not Found!', asyncResult.error.message);
            }
        });

But the problem is, when i create another same content control with different name in the footer or header it does not binds  the "Navn" content control which is in the main content of the document. also does not bind the control which is in the footer.

but i don't have any other control with the same name like ABC.

How can i bind content controls in footer or header?

can anyone please help me.

Thanks in Adva

Why would you want a content control in the header or footer anyway? They're not readily accessible for data entry there. If all you're trying to do is to replicate the content, you can do that via a StyleRef field. Simply apply a unique Style name to the content control range, then use the StyleRef field in the header/footer to reference that Style's name.

Hi Paul,

I want to add the company's name dynamically from my App, to the footer. 

User just click's a button in app and the content in footer should automatically fills. this is my requirement.

and as i am working in office for app and i have only java script code. 

Can you please tell me how can i do this by StyleRef field, which you are talking.

Many thanks.

If all you want to do is to add something to the header, you don't need a content control - you can add it directly. StyleRef fields are used to replicate content that is in the body of the document. See Word's Help file, or insert|Quick Parts|Field>StyleRef, for details.

Paul,

I don't want to add it directly by selecting field. I want to do it through code (Javascript).Any idea how can I do it?

I did not suggest you should do it directly "by selecting field". Here's some VBA code (I don't know JavaScript) for populating a header directly:

Sub Demo()
ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Text = "Hello world"
End Sub

As you can see, it's quite simple and no fields or content controls are involved, whether selected or othe
