This element specifies the Hide Placeholders property on a matrix m. When this property is on, placeholders do not appear in the matrix. If this element is omitted, placeholders do appear such that the locations where text can be inserted are made visible. [Example: The following two examples of matrices show the hidden and visible states of placeholders:

In the matrix described by the XML below, placeholders will be hidden:

<m:mPr>
<m:plcHide m:val="on"/>
<m:mcs>
<m:mc>
<m:mcPr>
<m:mcJc m:val="center"/>
<m:count m:val="3"/>
</m:mcPr>
</m:mc>
</m:mcs>
</m:mPr>

end example]
