<Copyright> element

This content is no longer actively maintained. It is provided as is, for anyone who may still be using these technologies, with no warranties or claims of accuracy with regard to the most recent product version or service release.

Contains a string representing a human readable copyright statement.

If the element contains a copyright statement, Microsoft Visio sets the Copyright cell's text with this string when the document is loaded. The user may not modify the cell's value after loading the file.

If the element is empty, the Copyright cell's text is blank. The user may then set the copyright value once and only once after loading the file.

Note The value of this element can be modified by third-party XML tools; however, modifying copyrighted material is illegal.

Syntax

  <Copyright
      [Unit = "unitval"]
      [F = "formula"]
      [Err = "error"]>
  </Copyright>

Attributes

Unit

Optional string. Represents a unit of measure. The default is STR. For details about STR, see Units of measure.

F

Optional string. Represents the element's formula. This attribute can contain the string "someFormula" if the formula exists locally, "No Formula" if the formula is locally deleted or blocked, or "Inh" if the formula is inherited.

If the attribute is not present, the element's formula is a simple constant, for example, <element> 5 </element>.

Err

Optional string. Indicates that the formula evaluates to an error. The value of Err is the current value (an error message string); the value of the element is the last valid value.
