17.15.1.9 autoFormatOverride (Allow Automatic Formatting to Override Formatting Protection Settings)

This element specifies whether formatting automatically applied by an application (i.e. not explicitly applied by a use or an application) shall be allowed to override formatting protection enabled via the formatting attribute on the documentProtection element (§17.15.1.9) when those formatting operations would add formatting which has been explicitly disabled. [Example: Automatically adding superscript to the st in the string 1st. end example]

If this element is omitted, then no automatic formatting rule(s) shall be allowed to override the formatting restrictions enabled for the document.

[Example Consider a WordprocessingML document which has been protected such that a user must not be able to directly format text within the document. Consider also that the hosting application has been constructed such that if a user enters a ampersand, then one or more alphabetical characters, then another ampersand, that the alphabetical characters are to take on italicized formatting.

If the autoFormatOverride element is omitted or set to false and document protection is enabled, the aforementioned series of events does not cause the English alphabetical characters to be italicized as the document protection preventing formatting of the document in question supersedes the formatting to take place after these events. If this operation should not be prevented when active formatting restrictions are used, this would be specified using the following WordprocessingML:

<w:autoFormatOverride w:val="true"/>

The autoFormatOverride element's val attribute is equal to true specifying that the automatic formatting behavior shall be applied regardless of the formatting restrictions in place. End Example]
