Main Document Story

A WordprocessingML document consists of a compilation of two types of information:

  • Properties
    example: : styles, numbering definitions, etc.
  • Stories
    example: : main document, comments, headers, etc.

In WordprocessingML, stories are defined as each unique region of content within a document into which the user can type. The most important story in a WordprocessingML document is the main document story, which contains the primary contents of the document. The main document story in WordprocessingML is stored inside the <body> element.

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

The fact that the paragraph is inside the <body> element makes it part of the main document story. ]
