InternalType: Offset 0x35, 4 bytes: 0x0 (iTypeString).
SkipBlocks: Offset 0x39, series of SkipBlock streams.
First SkipBlock
Size: Offset 0x39, 4 bytes: 0x15 (21).
Content: Offset 0x3D, array of 21 bytes. This is the first SkipBlock stream, so this array contains a FirstSkipBlockContent stream.
FieldName: Offset 0x3D, PackedUnicodeString stream.
Length: Offset 0x3D, 1 byte: 0xA (10).
Characters: Offset 0x3E, array of 10 WCHARs. Unicode string value: "TextField1".
Second SkipBlock
- Size: Offset 0x52, 4 bytes: 0x0 (0). This is the terminating SkipBlock stream.
