While the NAME attribute is typically assigned one of the well-defined values above, any arbitrary value can be specified. Custom tools can be developed to perform special actions on documents containing arbitrary META tags.

To enable the smart edit features in Internet Explorer^® 5 or later, add a META tag to the HEAD of the document. Associate "ProgID" with the NAME attribute, and associate the programmatic identifier of the desired editor with the CONTENT attribute. If the specified editor is not installed or properly registered on the user's system, the edit button is not displayed. Consult the documentation of your editor to determine its programmatic identifier.

When added to the HEAD of an HTML document, the following META tags cause Internet Explorer^® 5 or later to display a smart edit button on its toolbar. Because the ProgID META tag is associated with the program identifier of Microsoft^® Word, the button will display the Microsoft Word icon.

In addition, when the button is clicked, Internet Explorer^® loads the document into Microsoft Word using the specified document template.

<META NAME="ProgID" CONTENT="word.document">
<META NAME="Template" CONTENT=
