<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear colleagues,</div><div><br></div><div>We also have to consider what is needed for Question 1.</div><div><br></div><div>>Question 1: Is it essential to use a VML file in order to do this? If</div><div>> so, shouldn't this be explained in the specification?</div><div><br></div><div>>Response 1: Excel only supports this through VML. We leave it to the</div><div>> standards body to decide if it wants to allow other supported ways</div><div>> of doing this.</div><div><br></div><div>Here is my take.</div><div><br></div><div>This limitation is specific to Excel. OOXML certainly allows the use</div><div>of DrawingML. It does not mandate the use of VML either.</div><div><br></div><div>If we save an Excel document with a comment as strict OOXML, we have a</div><div>drawingML document as well a VML document. This drawingML document</div><div>contains no graphical information. But this is just a design choice</div><div>in the design of Excel. Nothing in OOXML prevents this DrawingML </div><div>document from having rich graphical information.</div><div><br></div><div>Excel always generates a VML document for an Excel document with</div><div>comments, even when we use strict OOXML (through MCE). But</div><div>this is not a requirement of OOXML. This is strictly a design choice</div><div>by Excel. Nothing in OOXML mandates the use of VML.</div><div><br></div><div>I thus believe that no actions by WG4 are required for this quiestion.</div><div>Microsoft might want to document their design choice if they have not</div><div>done so already.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Makoto</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">2017-04-06 22:32 GMT+09:00 MURATA Makoto <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:eb2m-mrt@asahi-net.or.jp" target="_blank">eb2m-mrt@asahi-net.or.jp</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>To close this DR, it remains to provide words to implement the<br></div><div>response 2 from the Seoul Meeting.
