Document Settings
The first group of settings stored in WordprocessingML is document settings. These settings specify all document-level properties which affect the handling of the current document.
[Example: Consider the following WordprocessingML fragment for the document settings in a WordprocessingML document:
<w:settings>
<w:defaultTabStop w:val="720" />
<w:characterSpacingControl w:val="dontCompress" />
</w:settings>
The settings element contains all of the document settings for this document. In this case, the two settings applied are automatic tab stop increments of 0.5" using the defaultTabStop element (§2.15.1.24), and no character level whitespace compression using the characterSpacingControl element (§2.15.1.18). end example]
