Microsoft Word Content Controls Handling

RPE/PUB is able to generate old “Document Properties” of Microsoft Word (of *.doc) but it doesn’t support yet the new “Content Controls” (of *.docx) or the Custom XML.

Is there a way to create/fill a “Content Control” or “XML Attribute” by means of PUB Studio? I didn’t find it.

I’d like to avoid a post-processing in VBA. Unfortunately, it seems the “Custom Properties” of Word cannot be mapped onto “Content Controls”.

Could you please evaluate the possibility to add this capability?
