The DocumentSummaryInformation Property Set

The Microsoft Office Summary Information properties are stored in a separate stream from the standard Summary Information properties. The standard Summary Information property set is described in the section entitled “The Summary Information Property Set” under “Using Property Sets”. The name of the stream that contains the Document Summary Information is:

"\005DocumentSummaryInformation"
 

The FMTID for the Microsoft Office Summary Information property set is:

    D5CDD502-2E9C-101B-9397-08002B2CF9AE
 

Use the DEFINE_GUID macro to define the FMTID for the property set:

DEFINE_GUID(FMTID_DocumentSummaryInformation, 0xD5CDD502L, 0x2E9C, 
0x101B, 0x93, 0x97, 0x08, 0x00, 0x2B, 0x2C, 0xF9, 0xAE);
 

This stream also has a separate section for the custom-defined properties. The format id for the section is

DEFINE_GUID(FMTID_UserDefinedProperties, 0xD5CDD505L, 0x2E9C, 0x101B, 
0x93, 0x97, 0x08, 0x00, 0x2B, 0x2C, 0xF9, 0xAE);
 

The following table shows the added properties to the “DocumentSummaryInformation” stream for Office 95 applications.

These properties have the following uses:

Category

A text string typed by the user indicating what category the file belongs to (memo, proposal etc.). It is useful for finding files of same type.

PresentationTarget

Target format for presentation (35mm, printer, video etc.), from PowerPoint.

Bytes

Number of bytes, from AFX.

Lines

Number of lines, from AFX.

Paragraphs

Number of paragraphs, from AFX.

Slides

Number of slides, from PowerPoint

Notes

Number of pages that contain notes, from PowerPoint

HiddenSlides

Number of slides that are hidden, from PowerPoint

MMClips

Number of sound or video clips, from PowerPoint

ScaleCrop

Set to True (-1) when scaling of the thumbnail is desired. If not set, cropping is desired. FindFile 2.0 needs this.

HeadingPairs

Internally used property indicating the grouping of different document parts and the number of items in each group. The titles of the document parts are stored in the PID_DOCPARTS property. The HeadingPairs property is stored as a vector of variants, in repeating pairs of VT_LPSTR and VT_I4 values. The VT_LPSTR value represents a heading name, and the VT_I4 value indicates the count of document parts under that heading. This property is used for providing the indentation for different groups on the 'sections' page.

TitlesofParts

Names of document parts, from AFX. For Excel this is sheet names, for PowerPoint this is slide titles, for a binder this is document names, for Word it is the names of the documents in the master document.

Manager

Manager of the project, from Project.

Company

Company name, from Project.

LinksUpToDate

Bool to indicate whether the custom links are dirty, for all applications.

Note As described in “12.3. Serialized Format for Property Sets” of the OLE 2.0 Design Specification, vector elements in the HeadingPairs and TitlesofParts properties should be aligned on 32 bit boundaries. However, in the DocumentSummaryInformation property set, when the code page of the property set is not Unicode, these elements must be packed.
