17.9.24 rPr

This element specifies the run properties which shall be applied to the numbering level’s text specified in the lvlText element (17.9.11) when it is applied to paragraphs in this document.

These run properties are applied to all numbering level text used by a given abstract numbering definition and numbering level. It should be noted that run properties specified on a numbered paragraph itself, or on text runs within a numbered paragraph, are separate from the run properties specified by rPr elements within a numbering level, as the latter affects only the numbering text itself, not the remainder of runs in the numbered paragraph.

[Example: Consider the WordprocessingML below which uses the rPr element to specify that the numbering symbol used within a given numbering level should be bold and of a 16 point font size:

<w:lvl w:ilvl="1">
  …
  <w:rPr>
    <w:b />
    <w:sz w:val="32" />
  </w:rPr>
</w:lvl>

The resulting paragraph uses its regular paragraph formatting, but the numbering level text itself must be specifically formatted as bold in 16 point font. end example]
