noSpaceRaiseLower (Do Not Increase Line Height for Raised/Lowered Text)

This element specifies whether the height which is allotted to any given line of text when the contents of this document are displayed shall include additional spacing in order to ensure that all raised and/or lowered text can be fully displayed.

Typically, any extra space needed is added to the line to prevent raised and lowered text from being truncated or hidden. This element, when present with a val attribute value of true (or equivalent), specifies that the height of the line shall be determined solely by the spacing settings on the parent paragraph, and any raised/lowered text shall just be clipped if it exceeds that space.

[Example: Consider a WordprocessingML document with both raised and lowered text. The default presentation would have that text visible:

However, if this compatibility setting is turned on:

<w:compat>
<w:noSpaceRaiseLower />
</w:compat>

Then no additional space should be added to the line height, resulting in the following output:

end example]

Attributes

Description

val (On/Off Value)

Specifies a binary value for the property defined by the parent XML element.

A value of on, 1, or true specifies that the property shall be explicitly applied. This is the default value for this attribute, and is implied when the parent element is present, but this attribute is omitted.

A value of off, 0, or false specifies that the property shall be explicitly turned off.

[Example: For example, consider the following on/off property:

<w:… w:val="off"/>

The val attribute explicitly declares that the property is turned off. end example]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_OnOff simple type (§2.18.67).
