<frameset> (Root Frameset Definition)

This element specifies that this document is the container for a frameset. This WordprocessingML element is analogous to the frameset element in HTML.

When the <frameset> element is present within a document, that document shall serve as a frameset definition only; all of its normal document content shall therefore not be displayed as long as it contains at least one child <frame> or <frameset> element.

If this element is omitted, then the currently document shall not be treated as a frameset definition; its regular document content shall be displayed.

example:

The frameset properties for this document are specified by the following WordprocessingML within the web page settings:

<w:frameset>
  <w:frameLayout w:val="rows" />
  <w:frame>
    …
  </w:frame>
  <w:frameset>
    <w:frameLayout w:val="cols" />
    <w:frame>
      …
    </w:frame>
    <w:frame>
      …
    </w:frame>
  </w:frameset>
</w:frameset>

The parent <frameset> element specifies that the current document is a frameset definition; that frameset consists of a single frame and another nested frameset stacked vertically. ]
