17.3.2.7 cs

This element specifies whether the contents of this run shall be treated as complex script text regardless of their Unicode character values when determining the formatting for this run.

This means that a consumer shall use the complex script formatting applied to the run [Example: The bCs value (17.3.2.2), not the b value (17.3.2.1). end example] when determining the resulting formatting properties.

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 the run contents are set to complex script based on the Unicode character positions of the content.

[Example: Consider the following run of English text in a WordprocessingML document:

<w:r>
  <w:rPr>
    <w:bCs/>
    <w:i/>
    <w:cs/>
  </w:rPr>
  <w:t>some English text</w:t>
</w:r>

This run has bold applied to complex script characters, and italics applied to non-complex script characters. However, since the cs property is set, the text in this run must be treated as complex script text when determining the resulting formatting. Therefore, the run has bold formatting, but no italic formatting when displayed. end example]

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