References to DTDs from custom XML parts are not supported. DTD references in custom XML parts will not resolve, and custom XML parts containing DTD references generate an exception when an attempt is made to save the file's content to a flat XML file.

Syntax

If you attempt to delete the part containing the core properties, the operation is not performed and an error message is displayed.
