w:framePr

[robertw]

Hi Jason,

I just had a look at my document.xml and compared with your post.

As you pointed out, the w:framePr tells me, where a table's contents are located at:

Code: Select all

<w:framePr w:w="3402" w:h="1701" w:hSpace="142" w:wrap="around" w:vAnchor="page" w:hAnchor="page" w:x="7939" w:y="12702"/>


The interesting and confusing thing with that is, that apparently each table cell's paragraph defines its own w:framePr. Wouldn't that allow to place the cells with their content all over the page? I'm just wondering why the position of the table is not set at the table level, but at the cell level. Am I missing something?

Cheers
Rob

Note that the w:framePr is actually inside w:p/w:pPr in the table cell.

If you have a read of http://www.documentinteropinitiative.or ... 3c481.aspx (which is most easily found via the special search link above), it says inter alia:

This element specifies information about the current paragraph with regard to text frames. Text frames are paragraphs of text in a document which are positioned in a separate region or frame in the document, and can be positioned with a specific size and position relative to non-frame paragraphs in the current document.

So yes, the intent is to be able to place the paragraph content elsewhere on the page (and the values of @w:vAnchor and w:hAnchor "page" specify this).
