17.3.2.18 imprint

This element specifies that the contents of this run should be displayed as if imprinted, which makes text appear to be imprinted or pressed into page (also referred to as ’engrave’).

This formatting property is a toggle property (17.7.3).

If this element is not present, the default value is to leave the formatting applied at previous level in the style hierarchy. If this element is never applied in the style hierarchy, then imprinting shall not be applied to the contents of this run.

This element shall not be present with either the emboss (17.3.2.13) or outline (17.3.2.23) properties on the same run, since they are mutually exclusive in terms of appearance.

[Example: Consider a run of text which must have the imprint property explicitly turned on for the contents of the run. This constraint is specified using the following WordprocessingML:

<w:rPr>
  <w:imprint w:val="true"/>
</w:rPr>

This run explicitly declares that the imprint property is true, so the contents of this run appear imprinted. end example]

This element’s content model is defined by the common boolean property definition in 17.17.4.
