This element specifies the size, or script level, of an argument. If the element is omitted, the default argument size is 0. [Example: The following example contains three runs: regular text in the equation, a box object with the base at script size (val=-1) and a box object with the base at script-script size (val=-2).

The XML below shows argSize used in the middle box.

<m:box>
<m:boxPr>
<m:noBreak m:val="off"/>
</m:boxPr>

<m:e>
<m:argPr>
<m:argSz m:val="-1"/>
</m:argPr>
<m:r>
<m:t>abc</m:t>
</m:t>
</m:e>
</m:box>

end example]
