In Office, this element is only displayed if all of the following conditions are met:

  • The on attribute is true.

  • The shape’s path is closed with the x command.  [Note: This implies that arrow heads should be defined on the stroke attribute. end note]

  • The shape’s path defines a rectangle with corner coordinates exactly equal to 0,0; 21600,0; 21600,21600; 0,21600.  [Example: For example, the following value on the path attribute of the shape element ("[ISO/IEC-29500-4] §19.1.2.19; shape (Shape Definition)") satisfies this condition: path="m,l,21600r21600,l21600,xe" end example]

  • The value of the shape’s spt attribute is 202.

  • The shape is not stroked.

If the on attribute is false or not specified, the border is not shown.

  • The value of the on attribute of the stroke element ("[ISO/IEC-29500-4] §19.1.2.21; stroke (Line Stroke Settings)") is false.

  • The on attribute of the stroke element is absent and the value of the shape’s stroked attribute is false.
