Definition of type: "FIBFCLCB"

Definition of type: "FIB"

In Word version 8, the FIB is reorganized to make future extention easier, and to make it easier to make backward compatible file format changes. The FIB now consists of four substructures: the header and three arrays. The FIB header, is unchanged from past versions. The second part is an array of 16-bit "shorts", most of which were present in earlier versions in different locations. The third part is an array of 32-bit longs, many of which were scattered through the previous version FIB. Finally, there is an array of FC/LCB pairs, which were divided into several disjoint arrays in the previous FIB. Future versions of Word will add entries to the three arrays, so readers of the FIB must be careful to skip over any entries in each array that were not present in the version for which the reader was designed. Writers of the FIB must write exactly as many entries as was defined for the nFib value they put in the FIB.

The FIBFCLCB structure, used in the last array in the FIB:

The FIB structure itself:

Decimal	Hex	Name	Type	Bitfield Size	Bitfield Mask	Comments
0	0x0000	fibh	FIBH			Beginning of the FIB header
0	0x0000	wIdent	ushort			magic number
2	0x0002	nFib	ushort			FIB version written. This will be >= 101 for all Word 6.0 for Windows and after documents.
4	0x0004	nProduct	ushort			product version written by
6	0x0006	lid	ushort			language stamp---localized version In pre-WinWord 2.0 files this value was the nLocale. If value is < 999, then it is the nLocale, otherwise it is the lid.
8	0x0008	pnNext	short
10	0x000A	fDot	ushort	:1	0x0001	Set if this document is a template
		fGlsy	ushort	:1	0x0002	Set if this document is a glossary
		fComplex	ushort	:1	0x0004	when 1, file is in complex, fast-saved format.
		fHasPic	ushort	:1	0x0008	set if file contains 1 or more pictures
		cQuickSaves	ushort	:4	0x00F0	count of times file was quicksaved
		fEncrypted	ushort	:1	0x0100	Set if file is encrypted
		fWhichTblStm	ushort	:1	0x0200	When 0, this fib refers to the table stream named "0Table", when 1, this fib refers to the table stream named "1Table". Normally, a file will have only one table stream, but under unusual circumstances a file may have table streams with both names. In that case, this flag must be used to decide which table stream is valid.
		fReadOnlyRecommended	ushort	:1	0x0400	Set when user has recommended that file be read read-only
		fWriteReservation	ushort	:1	0x0800	Set when file owner has made the file write reserved
		fExtChar	ushort	:1	0x1000	Set when using extended character set in file
		fLoadOverride	ushort	:1	0x2000	REVIEW
		fFarEast	ushort	:1	0x4000	REVIEW
		fCrypto	ushort	:1	0x8000	REVIEW
12	0x000C	nFibBack	ushort			This file format it compatible with readers that understand nFib at or above this value.
14	0x000E	lKey				File encrypted key, only valid if fEncrypted.
18	0x0012	envr	uchar			environment in which file was created 0   created by Win Word 1   created by Mac Word
19	0x0013	fMac	uchar	:1	0x01	when 1, this file was last saved in the Mac environment
		fEmptySpecial	uchar	:1	0x02
		fLoadOverridePage	uchar	:1	0x04
		fFutureSavedUndo	uchar	:1	0x08
		fWord97Saved	uchar	:1	0x10
		fSpare0	uchar	:3	0xFE
20	0x0014	chs	ushort			Default extended character set id for text in document stream. (overridden by chp.chse) 0   by default characters in doc stream should be interpreted using the ANSI character set used by Windows 256   characters in doc stream should be interpreted using the Macintosh character set.
22	0x0016	chsTables	ushort			Default extended character set id for text in internal data structures 0   by default characters stored in internal data structures should be interpreted using the ANSI character set used by Windows 256   characters stored in internal data structures should be interpreted using the Macintosh character set.
24	0x0018	fcMin	long			file offset of first character of text. In non-complex files a CP can be transformed into an FC by the following transformation: fc = cp + fib.fcMin.
28	0x001C	fcMac	long			file offset of last character of text in document text stream + 1
32	0x0020	csw	ushort			Count of fields in the array of "shorts"
34	0x0022	rgsw				Beginning of the array of shorts
34	0x0022	wMagicCreated				unique number Identifying the File's creator 0x6A62 is the creator ID for Word and is reserved. Other creators should choose a different value.
36	0x0024	wMagicRevised				identifies the File's last modifier
38	0x0026	wMagicCreatedPrivate				private data
40	0x0028	wMagicRevisedPrivate
