WordprocessingML Reference Material - Table of Contents

body (Document Body)

This element specifies the contents of the body of the document - the main document editing surface.

The document body contains what is referred to as block-level markup - markup which can exist as a sibling element to paragraphs in a WordprocessingML document.

[Example: Consider a document with a single paragraph in the main document story. This document would require the following WordprocessingML in its main document part:

<w:document>

<w:body>

<w:p/>

</w:body>

</w:document>

The fact that the paragraph is inside the body element makes it part of the main document story. end example]
