XML to limit character length of plain text content control in Word

Let me start by saying that I am completely new to XML. What I am trying to accomplish is to limit the number of characters that can be entered into a plain or rich text content control in Word. This used to be possible with legacy controls but I am trying to avoid using them or VBA if I can help.I understand from various searches that this may be possible using XML.This website http://www.w3schools.com/schema/schema_facets.asp has the following code:

<xs:element name="password">  <xs:simpleType>	<xs:restriction base="xs:string">	  <xs:minLength value="5"/>	  <xs:maxLength value="8"/>	</xs:restriction>  </xs:simpleType></xs:element>

I am attempting to use the Word 2007 Content Control Toolkit (freeware program designed specifically to modify the XML code attached to a Word document) to enter this code but I'm not sure how to get this code to work with my content control.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thank you,Brian
