FieldCodes (WordprocessingML Field Switches)

This element specifies the WordprocessingML field switches which shall be stored with an embedded object, using the set of field switches defined by the LINK field, as specified in §2.16. This element shall only be used within a WordprocessingML document, and shall specify the exact field switches for the field which represents the object..

[Rationale: Legacy word processors used fields to represent embedded objects – this element stores the field switches not explicitly defined using individual Office VML Drawing elements for embeddings so as not to use the fidelity of their contents. end rationale]

[Example: The following example inserts an embedded object and specifies additional properties as defined by the LINK field.

<o:OLEObject …>
<o:FieldCodes>\f 0</o:FieldCodes>
</o:OLEObject>

This embedded object specifies additional LINK field code values of \f 0, which specifies that the embedded object shall retain its source formatting (as defined in §2.16).

end example]

The possible values for this element are defined by the XML Schema string datatype.
