17.15.2.19 frameset

This element specifies that this document is the container for a frameset. This WordprocessingML element is analogous to the frameset element in HTML.

When the frameset element is present within a document, that document shall serve as a frameset definition only; all of its normal document content shall therefore not be displayed as long as it contains at least one child frame or frameset element.

If this element is omitted, then the currently document shall not be treated as a frameset definition; its regular document content shall be displayed.

[Example: Consider a WordprocessingML document which serves as the frameset container for a frameset consisting of the following three frames:

The frameset properties for this document are specified by the following WordprocessingML within the web page settings:

<w:frameset>
  <w:frameLayout w:val="rows" />
  <w:frame>
    …
  </w:frame>
  <w:frameset>
    <w:frameLayout w:val="cols" />
    <w:frame>
      …
    </w:frame>
    <w:frame>
      …
    </w:frame>
  </w:frameset>
</w:frameset>

The parent frameset element specifies that the current document is a frameset definition; that frameset consists of a single frame and another nested frameset stacked vertically. end example]
