17.9.26 startOverride

This element specifies the number that the specified level override shall begin with. This value is used to reset the numbering in a given level.

[Example: Consider using WordprocessingML to override the numbering of a particular list item and make the list look as follows:

Firstly, create two w:num instances that reference the same abstract numbering definition. One of the w:num instance overrides the numbering value for the first level. Below is the Wordprocessing ML that illustrates this:

Then, in the main document, number the first and the second paragraph as “1” and “2” respectively by using numId 5, and reset the numbering of the third paragraph to “1” by using numId 6. In turn, the numbering of the fourth paragraph becomes “2”, because it is incremented based on the new reset value. Below is the WordprocessingML that illustrates this:

Attributes

val (Decimal Number Value)

Specifies that the contents of this attribute contains a decimal number.

The contents of this decimal number are interpreted based on the context of the parent XML element.

[Example: Consider the following numeric WordprocessingML property of simple type ST_DecimalNumber:

  <… w:val="1512645511" />

The value of the val attribute is a decimal number whose value must be interpreted in the context of the parent element. end example]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_DecimalNumber simple type (17.18.10).

[Note: The W3C XML Schema definition of this element’s content model (CT_DecimalNumber) is located in A.1. end note]
