17.18.49 ST_Lock

This simple type specifies the possible set of locking behaviors that can be applied to the contents of the nearest ancestor structured document tag when the contents of this document are edited by an application (whether through a user interface or directly).

[Example: Consider the following plain text structured document tag:

<w:sdt>
  <w:sdtPr>
    <w:lock w:val="sdtLocked"/>
    …
    <w:text/>
  </w:sdtPr>
  …
</w:sdt>

This plain text structured document tag’s properties contain a lock element, specifying locking behaviors for the structured document tag. Since the locking val attribute value is sdtLocked, this locking setting must specify that the contents of the structured document tag can be edited, but the structured document tag itself must not be deleted from the document. end example]
