The MSOPATHTYPE enumeration, as shown in the following table, specifies how the individual pieces of a path SHOULD be interpreted.

Name	Value	Meaning
msopathLineTo	0x00000000	For each POINT record, as defined in section 2.2.55, in the array, add a straight line segment from the current ending POINT to the new POINT. The number of POINT values to process equals the number of segments. The last POINT in the array becomes the new ending POINT.
msopathCurveTo	0x00000001	For each segment, three POINT values are used to draw a cubic Bezier curve. The first two POINT values are control POINT values, and the last POINT is the new ending POINT. The number of POINT values consumed is three times the number of segments.
msopathMoveTo	0x00000002	Start a new sub-path by using a single POINT. The starting POINT becomes the current ending POINT. The value of the segment field MUST be zero. The number of POINT values used is one.
msopathClose	0x00000003	If the starting POINT and the ending POINT are not the same, a single straight line is drawn to connect the starting POINT and the ending POINT of the path. The number of segments MUST be one. The number of POINT values used is zero.
msopathEnd	0x00000004	The end of the current path. All consecutive lines and fill values MUST be drawn before any subsequent path or line is drawn. The number of segments MUST be zero. The number of POINT values used is zero.
msopathEscape	0x00000005	The MSOPATHINFO record, as defined in section 2.2.53, is treated as an MSOPATHESCAPEINFO record, as defined in section 2.2.54.
msopathClientEscape	0x00000006	The MSOPATHINFO record is treated as an MSOPATHESCAPEINFO record specific to the client.
