pPr (Paragraph Properties)
This element specifies a set of paragraph properties which shall be applied to the contents of the parent paragraph after all style/numbering/table properties have been applied to the text. These properties are defined as direct formatting, since they are directly applied to the paragraph and supersede any formatting from styles.
[Example: Consider a paragraph which should have a set of paragraph formatting properties. This set of properties is specified in the paragraph properties as follows:
<w:p>
<w:pPr>
<w:pBdr>
<w:bottom w:val="single" w:sz="8" w:space="4" w:color="4F81BD" />
</w:pBdr>
<w:spacing w:after="300" />
<w:contextualSpacing />
</w:pPr>
</w:p>
The pPr element specifies the properties which are applied to the current paragraph - in this case, a bottom paragraph border using the bottom element (§2.3.1.7), spacing after the paragraph using the spacing element (§2.3.1.33), and that spacing should be ignored for paragraphs above/below of the same style using the contextualSpacing element (§2.3.1.9). end example]
