removeDateAndTime (Remove Date and Time from Annotations)

This element specifies that the date and time information shall be removed from all annotations which are present in the current document when it is saved. Annotations store this information in the date attribute on the annotation's XML element.

If this element is omitted, then date information shall not be removed when the document is saved. If the removePersonalInformation element is not turned on, then this setting shall be ignored.

[Example: Consider a WordprocessingML document that shall not save date and time information on annotations in the document content. This state is specified using the following WordprocessingML in the document settings:

<w:settings>
…
<w:removePersonalInformation w:val="true" />
<w:removeDateAndTime w:val="true" />
…
</w:settings>

The removeDateAndTime element's val attribute has a value of true specifying that all annotations in the document shall have and date and time information removed before they are saved by omitting their date attributes. end example]

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).
