17.4.61 tblPrEx
This element specifies a previous set of table-level property exceptions, the modifications to which shall be attributed to a revision by a particular author and at a particular time. This element contains the table-level property exceptions which were previously in place before a specific set of revisions by one author.
[Example: Consider the following two tables in a WordprocessingML document. If the interceding paragraphs between these two tables is removed and the tables are merged together, it is obviously undesirable to have the second table lose its formatting and match the properties of the first table. Therefore, when the tables are merged as follows (note that there is now only one table):
If the border type is changed to a red border of type thinThickThinSmallGap with revisions tracked, as follows:
The resulting WordprocessingML for the last three rows of the table would include the following set of table- level property exceptions with revision tracking:
