11.3.6 Footer Part

Content Type:

application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.footer+xml

Source Relationship:

An instance of this part type contains the information about a footer displayed for one or more sections.

A package is permitted to contain zero or one Footer part for each kind of footer (first page, odd page, or even page) in each section of the document. Each Footer part shall be the target of an explicit relationship in the part- relationship item for the Main Document (11.3.10) part, or the Glossary Document (11.3.8) part.

[Example: The Main Document part-relationship item contains one relationship, for the odd footer part, which is stored as the ZIP item footer3.xml:

<Relationships xmlns="…">
  <Relationship Id="rId91"
    Type="http://…/footer" Target="footer3.xml"/>
</Relationships>

end example]

The root element for a Footer part shall be ftr.

[Example:

<w:ftr xmlns:w="…" …>
  …
</w:ftr>

end example]

The XML markup for a footer in a section of a Main Document part involves the footerReference element in that section’s sectPr element which explicitly references the relationship for the header.

[Example: Consider the case in which a section in the Main Document part contains odd and even headers, and an odd footer:

<w:document xmlns:w="…">
  …
  <w:sectPr>
    <w:footerReference w:val="rId89" w:type="default"/>
    <w:footerReference w:val="rId90" w:type="even"/>
    <w:footerReference w:val="rId91" w:type="first"/>
    <w:type w:val="oddPage"/>
    <w:pgSz w:w="11909" w:h="16834" w:code="9"/>
    <w:pgMar w:top="1440" w:right="1152" w:bottom="1440"
      w:left="1152" w:header="720" w:footer="720" w:gutter="0"/>
    <w:lnNumType w:countBy="1"/>
    <w:pgNumType w:numFmt="lowerRoman"/>
    <w:cols w:space="720"/>
  </w:sectPr>
</w:document>

end example]

Each footer has a corresponding ftr element in a Footer part, which contains the text of the footer.

[Example: Here is the odd footer corresponding to the example above. It has the page number centered and displayed using lowercase Roman numerals (as set by the pgNumType element above):

<w:ftr xmlns:w="…">
  <w:p>
    <w:pPr>
      <w:pStyle w:val="Centered"/>
    </w:pPr>
    <w:fldSimple w:instr="PAGE">
      <w:r>
        <w:rPr>
          <w:noProof/>
        </w:rPr>
        <w:t>i</w:t>
      </w:r>
    </w:fldSimple>
  </w:p>
</w:ftr>

end example]

A Footer part shall be located within the package containing the relationships part (expressed syntactically, the TargetMode attribute of the Relationship element shall be Internal).
