If this element is omitted, then an application can view the document in any desired default state.

Attributes

val (Document View Setting Value)

Specifies the view that shall be used to render the contents of a WordprocessingML document.

Applications can omit support for one or more of the views defined by the ST_View simple type (referenced below). If a WordprocessingML document containing an unsupported view is loaded by an application, it shall fall back to its default view

(17.18.102).

[Example: Consider a WordprocessingML document that is to be rendered in a view meant to mimic how the document would look in a web browser (i.e. without a fixed page width). This intent is specified using the following WordprocessingML in the document settings:

    <w:view w:val="web" />

end example]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_View simple type (17.18.102).
