document (Document)

This element specifies the contents of a main document part in a WordprocessingML document.

[Example: Consider the basic structure of the main document part in a basic WordprocessingML document, as follows:

<w:document>  
  <w:body>  
    <w:p/>  
  </w:body>  
</w:document>  

All of the contents of the main document part are contained beneath the document element. end example]
