Paragraph Text

There are two kinds of paragraphs: plain and table. A table is a collection of paragraphs, and a table row is a continuous sequence of paragraphs partitioned into cells. The \intbl paragraph-formatting control word identifies the paragraph as part of a table. For more information, see "Table Definitions" on page 40 of this Application Note. This control is inherited between paragraphs that do not have paragraph properties reset with \pard.

<para> <textpar> | <row>
<textpar> <pn>? <brdrdef>? <parfmt>* <apoctl>* <tabdef>? <shading>? (\subdocument | <char>+) (\par <para>)?
<row> <tbldef> <cell>+ \row
<cell> <textpar>+ \cell

Paragraph Formatting Properties

These control words (described as <parfmt> in the paragraph-text syntax description) specify generic paragraph formatting properties. These control words can appear anywhere in the body of the paragraph, not just at the beginning.

Note that if the \pard control word is not present, the current paragraph inherits all paragraph properties defined in the previous paragraph.

The paragraph-formatting control words are listed in the following table.

Control word Meaning
\par New paragraph.
\ pard Resets to default paragraph properties.
\sN Designates paragraph style. If a paragraph style is specified, style properties must be specified with the paragraph. N references an entry in the stylesheet.
\hyphpar Toggles automatic hyphenation for the paragraph. Append 1 or nothing to toggle property on; append 0  to turn it off.
\intbl Paragraph is part of a table.
\keep Keep paragraph intact.
\nowidctlpar No widow/orphan control. This is a paragraph-level property and is used to override the document-level \widowctrl.
\widctlpar Widow/orphan control is used for the current paragraph. This is a paragraph property used to override the absence of the document-level \widowctrl
\keepn Keep paragraph with the next paragraph.
\levelN N is the outline level of the paragraph.
\noline No line numbering.
\outlinelevelN Outline level of paragraph. The N argument is a value from 0-8 representing the outline level of the paragraph. In the default case, no outline level is specified (same as body text). 
\pagebb Break page before the paragraph.
\sbys Side-by-side paragraphs.
Alignment
\ql Left-aligned (the default).
\qr Right-aligned.
\qj Justified.
\qc Centered.
Indentation
\fiN First-line indent (the default is 0).
\liN Left indent (the default is 0).
\riN Right indent (the default is 0).
Spacing
\sbN Space before (the default is 0).
\saN Space after (the default is 0).
\slN Space between lines. If this control word is missing or if \sl0 is used, the line spacing is automatically determined by the tallest character in the line; if N is a positive value, this size is used only if it is taller than the tallest character (otherwise, the tallest character is used); if N is a negative value, the absolute value of N is used, even if it is shorter than the tallest character.
\slmultN Line spacing multiple. Indicates that the current line spacing is a multiple of "Single" line spacing. This control word can follow only the \sl control word and works in conjunction with it.

0"At Least" or "Exactly" line spacing.

1Multiple line spacing, relative to "Single."

Subdocuments
\subdocumentN This indicates that a subdocument in a master document/subdocument relationship should occur here. N represents an index into the file table. This control word must be the only item in a paragraph.
Bidirectional Controls
\rtlpar Text in this paragraph will be displayed with right-to-left precedence.
\ltrpar Text in this paragraph will be displayed with left-to-right precedence (the default).

Tabs

Any paragraph may have its own set of tabs. Tabs must follow this syntax:

<tabdef> (<tab> | <bartab>) +
<tab> <tabkind>? <tablead>? \tx
<bartab> <tablead>? \tb
<tabkind> \tqr | \tqc | \tqdec
<tablead> \tldot | \tlhyph | \tlul | \tlth | \tleq

Control word Meaning
\txN Tab position in twips from the left margin.
\tqr Flush-right tab.
\tqc Centered tab.
\tqdec Decimal tab.
\tbN Bar tab position in twips from the left margin.
\tldot Leader dots.
\tlhyph Leader hyphens.
\tlul Leader underline.
\tlth Leader thick line.
\tleq Leader equal sign.

Bullets and Numbering

Word 6.0/95 RTF

To provide compatibility with existing RTF readers, all applications that can automatically format paragraphs with bullets or numbers will also emit the generated text as plain text in the \pntext group. This will allow existing RTF readers to capture the plain text and safely ignore the autonumber instructions. This group precedes all bulleted or numbered paragraphs, and will contain all the text and formatting that would be auto-generated. It should precede the '{'\*\pn ... '}' destination, and it is the responsibility of RTF readers that understand the '{'\*\pn ... '}' destination to ignore the \pntext group.

<pn> <pnseclvl> | <pnpara>
<pnseclvl> '{\*' \pnseclvl <pndesc>'}'
<pnpara> <pntext> <pnprops>
<pntext> '{' \pntext <char> '}'
<pnprops> '{\*' \pn <pnlevel> <pndesc>'}'
<pnlevel> \pnlvl | \pnlvlblt | \pnlvlbody | \pnlvlcont
<pndesc> <pnnstyle> & <pnchrfmt> & <pntxtb> & <pntxta> & <pnfmt>
<pnnstyle> \pncard | \pndec | \pnucltr | \pnucrm | \pnlcltr | \pnlcrm | \pnord | \pnordt
<pnchrfmt> \pnf? & \pnfs? & \pnb? & \pni? & \pncaps? & \pnscaps? & <pnul>? & \pnstrike? & \pncf?
<pnul> \pnul | \pnuld | \pnuldb | \pnulnone | \pnulw
<pnfmt> \pnnumonce? & \pnacross? & \pnindent? & \pnsp? & \pnprev? & <pnjust>? & \pnstart? & \pnhang? & \pnrestart?
<pnjust> \pnqc | \pnql | \pnqr
<pntxtb> '{' \pntxtb #PCDATA'}'
<pntxta> '{' \pntxta #PCDATA'}'

Settings below marked with an asterisk can be turned off by appending 0  to the control word.

Control word Definition
\pntext This group precedes all numbered/bulleted paragraphs, and contains all auto-generated text and formatting. It should precede the '{\*'\pn ... '}' destination, and it is the responsibility of RTF readers that understand the '{\*'\pn ... '}' destination to ignore this preceding group. This is a destination control word.
\pn Turns on paragraph numbering. This is a destination control word.
\pnlvlN Paragraph level, where N is a level from 1 to 9. Default set by \pnseclvlN section formatting property.
\pnlvlblt Bulleted paragraph (corresponds to level 11). The actual character used for the bullet is stored in the \pntxtb group.
\pnlvlbody Simple paragraph numbering (corresponds to level 10).
\pnlvlcont Continue numbering but do not display number (“skip numbering”).
\pnnumonce Number each cell only once in a table (the default is to number each paragraph in a table).
\pnacross Number across rows (the default is to number down columns).
\pnhang Paragraph uses a hanging indent.
\pnrestart Restart numbering after each section break. Note that this control word is used only in conjunction with the Heading Numbering feature (applying multilevel numbering to Heading style definitions).
\pncard Cardinal numbering (One, Two, Three).
\pndec Decimal numbering (1, 2, 3).
\pnucltr Uppercase alphabetic numbering (A, B, C).
\pnucrm Uppercase roman numbering (I, II, III).
\pnlcltr Lowercase alphabetic numbering (a, b, c).
\pnlcrm Lowercase roman numbering. (i, ii, iii).
\pnord Ordinal numbering (1st, 2nd, 3rd).
\pnordt Ordinal text numbering (First, Second, Third).
\pnb Bold numbering.*
\pni Italic numbering.*
\pncaps All Caps numbering.*
\pnscaps Small Caps numbering.*
\pnul Continuous underline.*
\pnuld Dotted underline.
\pnuldb Double underline.
\pnulnone Turns off underlining.
\pnulw Word underline.
\pnstrike Strikethrough numbering.*
\pncfN Foreground color—index into color table (the default is 0).
\pnfN Font number.
\pnfsN Font size (in half-points).
\pnindentN Minimum distance from margin to body text.
\pnspN Distance from number text to body text.
\pnprev Used for multilevel lists. Include information from previous level in this level; for example, 1, 1.1, 1.1.1, 1.1.1.1
\pnqc Centered numbering.
\pnql Left-justified numbering.
\pnqr Right-justified numbering.
\pnstartN Start at number.
\pntxta Text after. This group contains the text that succeeds the number. This is a destination control word.
\pntxtb Text before. This group contains the text that precedes the number. This is a destination control word.

Note that there is a limit of 32 characters total for the sum of text before and text after for simple numbering. Multilevel numbering has a limit of 64 characters total for the sum of all levels.

Word 97 RTF

Each paragraph that is part of a list must contain some keyword to indicate which list it’s in, and which level of the list it belongs to. Word 97 also provides the flat text representation of each number (in the \listtext destination); so, RTF readers that don’t understand Word 97 numbering will get the paragraph number, along with appropriate character properties, inserted into their document at the beginning of the paragraph. Any RTF reader that does understand Word 97 numbering should ignore the entire \listtext destination.

Control word Meaning
\ls Should exactly match the ls for one of the list overrides in the List Override table.
\ilvl The 0-based level of the list to which the paragraph belongs. For all simple lists, this should always be 0 . For multilevel lists, it can be 0-8.
\listtext Contains the flat text representation of the number, including character properties. Should be ignored by any reader that understands Word 97 numbering. This is a destination control word.

REVISION MARKS FOR PARAGRAPH NUMBERS

Paragraph numbers and ListNum fields track revision information with special properties applied to the paragraph mark and ListNum field, respectively. The special properties hold the "old" value of the number—the value it held when revision-mark tracking began. At display time, Word checks the number's current value and compares it with this "old" value to tell if it has changed. If the numbers are different, the old value shows up as deleted and the new value as inserted; if the numbers are the same, Word displays the new value normally, with no revision information. If there was no old value, the new value shows up as inserted. The following table lists the RTF specifications for these special properties.

Track Changes (Revision mark) properties for paragraph numbers
\pnrauthN Index into the revision table. The content of the Nth group in the revision table is considered to be the author of that revision.

Note This keyword is used to indicate paragraph number revisions.

\pnrdateN Time of the revision. The 32-bit DTTM structure is emitted as a long integer.
\pnrnot Indicates if the paragraph number for the current paragraph is marked as "inserted."
\pnrxstN The keywords \pnrxst, \pnrrgb, \pnrpnbr, and \pnrnfc describe the "deleted number" text for the paragraph number. Their values are binary. Each of these keywords is represented as an array. The deleted number is written out with a \pnrstart keyword, followed by the array’s keyword, followed by the first byte of the array, followed by the array’s keyword, followed by the second byte of the array’s keyword, followed by the array’s keyword, followed by the third byte of the array’s keyword, and so on. This sequence is followed by the \pnrstop keyword.

\pnrxst is a 32-item Unicode character array (double bytes for each character) with a length byte as the first number—it has the actual text of the number, with "level" place holders written out as digits from 0-8.


\pnrrgbN Nine-item array of indices of the level place holders in the \pnrxst array.
\pnrnfcN Nine-item array containing the number format codes of each level (using the same values as the \levelnfc keyword). The number format code is represented as a short integer.
\pnrpnbrN Nine-item array of the actual values of the number in each level. The number is represented as a long integer
\pnrstartN The \pnrxst, \pnrrgb, \pnrpnbr, and \pnrnfc arrays are each preceded by the \pnrstart keyword, whose argument is 0-3 depending on the array.
\pnrstopN The \pnrxst, \pnrrgb, \pnrpnbr, and \pnrnfc arrays are each terminated by the \pnrstop keyword, whose argument is the number of bytes written out in the array.

Example:

Let’s take an example of the number "3-4b." which represents the third level of the list. The following table lists the values of each array.

Array Binary Comment
pnrxst \'05\'00-\'01\'02 The length of the string is 5.  Then, first level (level 0), followed by a dash, followed by the second and third levels (levels 1 and 2), followed by a period.
Pnrrgb \'01\'03\'04 The level place holders are at indices 1, 3, and 4 in the string.
Pnrnfc \'00\'00\'04 The nfc values are Arabic (0), Arabic (0), and lowercase letter (4).
Pnrpnbr \'03\'04\'02 The numbers or 3, 4, and 2 (b)

Here is the RTF for this number:

\pnrstart0

\pnrxst0\pnrxst5\pnrxst0\pnrxst1\pnrxst0\pnrxst45\pnrxst0\pnrxst2\pnrxst0\pnrxst3\pnrxst0\pnrxst46

\pnrstop36

Control word Meaning
Track Changes (Revision mark) properties for ListNum fields
\dfrauthN Index into the revision table. The content of the Nth group in the revision table is considered the author of that revision.

Note This keyword is used to indicate the deleted value of a ListNum field.

\dfrdateN Time of the revision. The 32-bit DTTM structure is emitted as a long integer.
\dfrxst Unicode character array with a length byte.
\dfrstart The \dfrxst array is preceded by the \dfrstart keyword.
\dfrstop The \dfrxst array is terminated by the \dfrstop keyword.

Example:

Let’s take the sample example from above. The deleted value is "3-4b." The RTF would then be

\dfrstart0\dfrxst0\dfrxst5\dfrxst0\dfrxst51\dfrxst0\dfrxst45\dfrxst0\dfrxst52

\dfrxst0\dfrxst66\dfrxst0\dfrxst46\dfrstop10

where 5 is the length byte, 51 is Unicode for "3", 45 is Unicode for "-", 52 is Unicode for "4", and so on.

Paragraph Borders

\brdrcfN N is the color of the paragraph border, specified as an index into the color table in the RTF header.
\brspN Space in twips between borders and the paragraph.

Paragraph Shading

Paragraph shading has the following syntax:

<shading> (\shading | <pat>) \cfpat? \cbpat?
<pat> \bghoriz | \bgvert | \bgfdiag | \bgbdiag | \bgcross | \bgdcross | \bgdkhoriz | \bgdkvert | \bgdkfdiag | \bgdkbdiag | \bgdkcross | \bgdkdcross

Control word Meaning
\shadingN N is the shading of the paragraph in hundredths of a percent.
\bghoriz Specifies a horizontal background pattern for the paragraph.

\cbpatN N is the background color of the background pattern, specified as an index into the document's color table.

Positioned Objects and Frames

The following paragraph-formatting control words specify the location of a paragraph on the page. Consecutive paragraphs with the same frame formatting are considered part of the same frame. For two framed paragraphs to appear at the same position on a page, they must be separated by a paragraph with different or no frame information.

Note that if any paragraph in a table row has any of these control words specified, then all paragraphs in the table row must have the same control words specified, either by inheriting the properties from the previous paragraph or by re-specifying the controls.

Paragraph positioning has the following syntax:

<apoctl> <framesize> & <horzpos> & <vertpos> & <txtwrap> & <dropcap>
<framesize> \absw? & \absh?
<horzpos> <hframe> & <hdist>
<vertpos> <vframe> & <vdist>
<txtwrap> \nowrap? & \dxfrtext? & \dfrmtxtx? &\dfrmtxty?

Control word Meaning
\abswN N is the width of the frame in twips.
\abshN N is the height of the frame in twips. A positive number indicates the minimum height of the frame and a negative number indicates the exact height of the frame. A value of zero indicates that the height of the frame adjusts to the contents of the frame. This is the default for frames where no height is given.
Horizontal Position
\phmrg Use the margin as the horizontal reference frame.
\phpg Use the page as the horizontal reference frame.
\phcol Use the column as the horizontal reference frame. This is the default if no horizontal reference frame is given.

\posyil Positions the paragraph vertically to be in-line.
\posyt Positions the paragraph at the top of the reference frame.
\posyc Centers the paragraph vertically within the reference frame.
\posyb Positions the paragraph at the bottom of the reference frame.
\abslock Locks a frame anchor to the current paragraph that it is associated with.
Text Wrapping
\nowrap Prevents text from flowing around the positioned object.
\dxfrtextN Distance in twips of a positioned paragraph from text in the main text flow in all directions.
\dfrmtxtxN N is the horizontal distance in twips from text on both sides of the frame.
\dfrmtxtyN N is the vertical distance in twips from text on both sides of the frame.
\overlay Text flows underneath frame.
\posyin Positions the paragraph vertically inside the reference frame.
\posyout Positions the paragraph vertically outside the reference frame.
Drop Caps
\dropcapliN Number of lines drop cap is to occupy. The range is 1 through 10.
\dropcaptN Type of drop cap:

\par \pard \phmrg\posxo\posyc\dxfrtext1152 Second APO para

Table Definitions

There is no RTF table group; instead, tables are specified as paragraph properties. A table is represented as a sequence of table rows. A table row is a continuous sequence of paragraphs partitioned into cells. The table row begins with the \trowd control word and ends with the \row control word. Every paragraph that is contained in a table row must have the \intbl control word specified or inherited from the previous paragraph. A cell may have more than one paragraph in it; the cell is terminated by a cell mark (the \cell control word), and the row is terminated by a row mark (the \row control word). Table rows can also be positioned. In this case, every paragraph in a table row must have the same positioning controls (see the <apoctl> controls on page 29 of this Application Note). Table properties may be inherited from the previous row; therefore, a series of table rows may be introduced by a single <tbldef>.

An RTF table row has the following syntax, as shown in the general paragraph-text syntax shown on page 23 of this Application Note.

<row> <tbldef> <cell>+ \row
<cell> <textpar>+ \cell

A table definition has the following syntax:

<tbldef> \trowd \trgaph <rowjust>? & <rowwrite>? <rowtop>? & <rowbot>? & <rowleft>? & <rowright>? & <rowhor>? & <rowvert>? & \trleft? & \trrh? \trhdr? & \trkeep? <celldef>+
<rowjust> \trql | \trqr | \trqc
<rowwrite> \ltrrow | \rtlrow
<rowtop> \trbrdrt <brdr>
<rowbot> \trbrdrl <brdr>
<rowleft> \trbrdrb <brdr>
<rowright> \trbrdrr <brdr>
<rowhor> \trbrdrh <brdr>
<rowvert> \trbrdrv <brdr>
<celldef> (\clmgf? & \clmrg? <celltop>? & <cellleft>? & <cellbot>? & <cellright>? & <cellshad>?) \cellx
<celltop> \clbrdrt <brdr>
<cellleft> \clbrdrl <brdr>
<cellbot> \clbrdrb <brdr>
<cellright> \clbrdrr <brdr>
<cellshad> <cellpat>? \clcfpat? & \clcbpat? & \clshdng
<cellpat> \clbghoriz | \clbgvert | \clbgfdiag | \clbgbdiag | \clbgcross | \clbgdcross | \clbgdkhor | \clbgdkvert | \clbgdkfdiag | \clbgdkbdiag | \clbgdkcross | \clbgdkdcross

Note for <tbldef> that the number of \cellxs must match the number of \cells in the \row.

The following control words further define options for each row of the table.

Control word Meaning
\trowd Sets table row defaults.
\tcelld Sets table cell defaults.
\trgaphN Half the space between the cells of a table row in twips.
\cellxN Defines the right boundary of a table cell, including its half of the space between cells.
\clmgf The first cell in a range of table cells to be merged.
\clmrg Contents of the table cell are merged with those of the preceding cell.
Row Formatting
\trql Left-justifies a table row with respect to its containing column.
\trqr Right-justifies a table row with respect to its containing column.
\trqc Centers a table row with respect to its containing column.
\trleftN Position of the leftmost edge of the table with respect to the left edge of its column.
\trrhN Height of a table row in twips. When 0, the height is sufficient for all the text in the line; when positive, the height is guaranteed to be at least the specified height; when negative, the absolute value of the height is used, regardless of the height of the text in the line.
\trhdr Table row header. This row should appear at the top of every page the current table appears on.
\trkeep Table row keep together. This row cannot be split by a page break. This property is assumed to be off unless the control word is present.
Bidirectional Controls
\rtlrow Cells in this table row will have right-to-left precedence.
\ltrrow Cells in this table row will have left-to-right precedence (the default).
Row Borders
\trbrdrt Table row border top.
\trbrdrl Table row border left.
\trbrdrb Table row border bottom.
\trbrdrr Table row border right.
\trbrdrh Table row border horizontal (inside).
\trbrdrv Table row border vertical (inside).
Cell Borders
\clbrdrb Bottom table cell border.
\clbrdrt Top table cell border.
\clbrdrl Left table cell border.
\clbrdrr Right table cell border.
Cell Shading and Background Pattern
\clshdngN N is the shading of a table cell in hundredths of a percent. This control should be included in RTF along with cell border information.
\clbghoriz Specifies a horizontal background pattern for the cell.
\clbgvert Specifies a vertical background pattern for the cell.
\clbgfdiag Specifies a forward diagonal background pattern for the cell (\\\\).
\clbgbdiag Specifies a backward diagonal background pattern for the cell (////).
\clbgcross Specifies a cross background pattern for the cell.
\clbgdcross Specifies a diagonal cross background pattern for the cell.
\clbgdkhor Specifies a dark horizontal background pattern for the cell.
\clbgdkvert Specifies a dark vertical background pattern for the cell.
\clbgdkfdiag Specifies a dark forward diagonal background pattern for the cell (\\\\).
\clbgdkbdiag Specifies a dark backward diagonal background pattern for the cell (////).
\clbgdkcross Specifies a dark cross background pattern for the cell.
\clbgdkdcross Specifies a dark diagonal cross background pattern for the cell.
\clcfpatN N is the line color of the background pattern.
\clcbpatN N is the background color of the background pattern.
Vertical Text Alignment
\clvertalt Text is top-aligned in cell (the default).
\clvertalc Text is centered vertically in cell.
\clvertalb Text is bottom-aligned in cell.
\cltxlrtb Vertical text aligned left (direction bottom up).
