17.15.1.14 bordersDoNotSurroundFooter

This element specifies that a given WordprocessingML document’s page border specified using the pgBorders element (17.6.10) should not surround contents of the footer.

If this element is omitted, then the page border shall not exclude the footer on the page. As well, this element shall be ignored if the pgBorders element has an offsetFrom attribute which is not equal to text.

[Note: If the pgBorders element has a offsetFrom attribute equal to page, the bordersDoNotSurroundFooter element is ignored as specifying the pgBorders element with a offsetFrom attribute equal to page is to specify that the positioning of borders within the document shall be calculated relative to the edge of the page and therefore irrespective of document content in the footer. end note]

[Example: Consider the following page in a WordprocessingML document:

If this WordprocessingML document is modified to leverage the behavior enabled by this element, this setting would be specified using the following WordprocessingML fragment in the document settings:

<w:bordersDoNotSurroundFooter w:val="true"/>

The bordersDoNotSurroundFooter element’s val attribute is equal to true specifying that the page border shall not surround the text extents of the footer, as follows:

end example]
