This element specifies that the nearest ancestor structured document tag shall be a restricted grouping when displayed in the document.

This setting specifies that the behavior for this structured document tag shall be as follows:

• The contents of this structured document tag shall not be editable when displayed by a hosting
• application regardless of the locking settings. This restriction can be superseded by any structured
• document tag contained within the group, as each structured document tag specifies the locking
• properties for its own content.

<w:sdt>
  <w:sdtPr>
    …
    <w:group/>
  </w:sdtPr>
  …
