<rPr> (Run Properties)

This element specifies the set of run properties which comprise the default run properties for the current WordprocessingML document. [: The reason that an <rPr> element is present within the <rPrDefault> element is to allow for easy repurposing of any set of run properties within a WordprocessingML document - since the run properties are always child elements of a single <rPr> element, that element can simply be relocated in its entirety to the desired new location without additional modifications. ]

If this element is omitted, then the default run properties for the current document are non-existent (i.e. there are no default run properties, and the defaults are therefore application-defined).

example: 
<w:docDefaults>
  …
  <w:rPrDefault>
    <w:rPr>
      <w:b/>
    </w::rPr>
  </w:rPrDefault>
</w:docDefaults>

The <rPr> element as a child of the <rPrDefault> element contains the set of default run properties for this document - in this case, bold text. ]
