17.9.22 pPr

This element specifies the paragraph properties which shall be applied as part of a given numbering level within the parent numbering definition. These paragraph properties are applied to any numbered paragraph that references the given numbering definition and numbering level.

Paragraph properties specified on the numbered paragraph itself override the paragraph properties specified by pPr elements within a numbering lvl element (17.9.5, 17.9.6).

[Example: Consider the WordprocessingML below which specifies numbering level paragraph properties:

<w:abstractNum w:abstractNumId="1">
  …
  <w:lvl w:ilvl="0">
    …
    <w:pPr>
      <w:tabs>
        <w:tab w:val="num" w:pos="720" />
      </w:tabs>
      <w:ind w:start="720" w:hanging="360" />
    </w:pPr>
  </w:lvl>
</w:abstractNum>

Each of the paragraph properties specified inside the pPr element are applied to any numbered paragraph which inherits this numbering level definition as part of the numbering properties in the order defined by the style hierarchy. end example]
