17.18.88 ST_TblOverlap

This simple type contains the possible settings for a floating table which shall be used to determine if the table can overlap with other floating tables when displayed in the document.

[Example: Consider two floating tables in a WordprocessingML document which overlap when displayed, as follows:

If either of these tables specifies that it must not allow overlapping, using the following WordprocessingML:

<w:tblPr>
  <w:tblOverlap w:val="never"/>
</w:tblPr>

The resulting tables must not overlap, and shall be adjusted at display time to prevent any overlapping, for example:

The value of never specifies that the specified table cannot overlap with other floating tables in the document. end example]

This simple type’s contents are a restriction of the W3C XML Schema string datatype.

This simple type is restricted to the values

listed in the following table:

Enumeration Value

Description

Specifies that the parent table, if floating, shall never be displayed in a state where it would be overlapping another floating table in the document.

If two floating tables intersect and this option is set on either of them, then one or both tables shall be adjusted as needed to ensure that the table whose value is never is not overlapped when displayed.

Specifies that the parent table, if floating, can be displayed in a state where it would be overlapping another floating table in the document.
