This element specifies the default justification of display math, at the document level. Individual equations can overrule the default setting.

Display math can be left justified, right justified, centered, or centered as a group. When display math is centered as a group, the equations are left aligned within a block, and the entire block is centered with respect to column margins. If this element is omitted, the equations are centered as a group. [Example: The XML below demonstrates defJc in use:

<m:mathPr>
<m:mathFont m:val="Cambria Math"/>
<m:brkBin m:val="before"/>
<m:brkBinSub m:val="--"/>
<m:smallFrac m:val="off"/>
<m:dispDef/>

<m:lMargin m:val="0"/>
<m:rMargin m:val="0"/>
<m:defJc m:val="centerGroup"/>
<m:wrapIndent m:val="1440"/>
<m:intLim m:val="subSup"/>
<m:naryLim m:val="undOvr"/>
</m:mathPr>
