17.3.2 Run

The next level of the document hierarchy is the run, which defines a region of text with a common set of properties. A run is represented by an r element (17.3.2.25), which allows the producer to specify a single set of formatting properties, applying the same information to all the contents of the run.

Just as a paragraph can have properties, so too can a run. All of the elements inside an r element have their properties controlled by a corresponding optional rPr run properties element (17.7.9.1; 17.3.2.27), which shall be the first child of the r element. In turn, the rPr element is a container for a set of property elements that are applied to the rest of the children of the r element. [Note: The elements inside the rPr container element allow the consumer to control whether the content in the following run content is bold, underlined, or visible, for example. end note]

[Example: Consider the following run within a WordprocessingML document:

<w:r>
  <w:rPr>
    <w:b/>
    <w:i/>
  </w:rPr>
  <w:t>quick</w:t>
</w:r>

The run specifies two formatting properties in its run contents: bold and italic. These properties are therefore applied to all content within this run. end example]
