17.10.6 titlePg

This element specifies whether the parent section in this document shall have a different header and footer for its first page.

If the val attribute is set to true, then the parent section in the document shall use a first page header for the first page in the section. If the val attribute is set to false, then the first page in the parent section shall use the starting value of page numbering for the parent section to determine if the first page should use the even or odd header/footer, as specified with the start attribute on the pgNumType element.

This setting does not affect the presence of even and odd page header on all sections, which is specified using the evenAndOddHeaders element (17.10.1).

If this element is set to false and a first page header/footer is specified , then it shall be ignored and only the odd page header/footer shall be displayed. Conversely, if this element is set to true and the first page header/footer type is omitted for the given section, the first page header/footer should be inherited from the previous section; if this is the first section in the document, then a blank header/footer shall be created (another header/footer type shall not be used in its place).

If this element is omitted, then its value shall be assumed to be false.

[Example: Consider a section which must have a different first page header. This requirement is specified using the following WordprocessingML:

<w:sectPr>
  …
  <w:titlePg />
  …
</w:sectPr>

Since the titlePg property is present (and its default attribute value is true), this document now has a different header and footer for its first page. end example]

This element’s content model is defined by the common boolean property definition in 17.17.4.
