L.1.16.1 Document Settings

A document setting specifies a document-level property that affects the handling of a given document, and influences the appearance and behavior of the current document, as well as the stored document- level state. All document settings are found in the Document Settings part.

Consider a document in which the document setting doNotHyphenateCaps is applied. As a document setting this element specifies whether words comprised of all capitalized letters must be hyphenated or not throughout the given document.. Specifically, if words in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS must not be hyphenated, this requirement would be specified by adding the following WordprocessingML to the settings part:

<w:doNotHyphenateCaps w:val="true"/>

Specifying that words comprised of ALL CAPITAL LETTERS must be hyphenated, as illustrated below:

If this element is omitted, then words in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS must be hyphenated when the document is hyphenated, as illustrated below:
