Option

Default Value

Description

Confirm conversions None

Leave setting as the user prefers. Set to 1 or 0 to force the setting to confirm conversions or not.

Disable Stamping False

Disables all traditional Worldox footer stamping.

Stamp Font Size None

Used to set the size of the font stamp. None leaves the stamp at whatever default footer font size in the document.

Note: This is overridden by a /Font=X directive in the stamp definition.

Hide curly braces No

Will causethe {} braces surrounding the Worldox stamp to be marked as hidden text so they do not appear on printouts.

Hide stamp No

Will cause the whole Worldox stamp to be marked as hidden text so it does not appear on printouts.

Use field code stamping False

Allows the setting of a Word Document field code to be used in specialised document stamping. The field code can be inserted at the relevant location in the document using a Word menu option and the stamp value will be inserted at that location when the document is saved.

Can be used for inserting the stamp anywhere in a document. E.g. for the ‘Our Ref’ field in a letterhead, can have multiple locations in a document and can work in conjunction with traditional Worldox stamping.

Clear stamp on open False

Forces the stamp to be removed from a document when it is opened. Used when stamps are being reconfigured or are not required in legacy documents.

Note: Does not prevent the re-stamping of a document on save if a valid stamp is defined.

Also used in conjunction with wdStampFirstOnly.

Wipe footer on open False

Forces the entire footer of the document to be removed including page numbering etc. Normally this would only be used when cleaning up legacy or 3rd party documents.

Note: Does not prevent the re-stamping of a document on save if a valid stamp is defined.

Also used in conjunction with wdStampFirstOnly.

Stamp on launch No

Forces updating of the stamp when a document is ‘Launched’ from Worldox as opposed to being opened from within Word.

Normally Worldox will not update the stamp on a launch event so as to allow for the printing of documents ‘As Is’.

Disable update of the file caption on launch No

Disabled updating of the document caption when a document is ‘Launched’. Normally the caption will be updated with the document description and ID in the same way as if it had been opened from within Word.

Save current position on close No

Will cause the Word cursor to return to where it was when the document was last saved upon opening it.

Enable user wipe footer option No

Enables the addition of a Wipe Footer option in the Word menus.

Add Tab after footer No
