Unit

Optional string. Represents a unit of measure. The default is NUM. For details about NUM, see Units of measure.

If the attribute is not present, the element's formula is a simple constant. For example, <element>5</element>.

Err

The document language is based on the language defined in the Microsoft Office 2010 Language Preferences dialog box (click Start, click All Programs, click Microsoft Office 2010 Tools, and then click Microsoft Office 2010 Language Preferences).

If you want to change the language for a document, instead of editing this element directly, it is best to change this value in the Properties dialog box or by using Automation, using the Language property of the Document object.
