<personal> (E-Mail Message Text Style)

This element specifies that the parent style, when in use in the context of an e-mail message, was used by default to format all message text from one or more users.
Note: : This setting does not provide any additional semantic about the style, but may be used in the context of e-mail to automatically reformat the contents of the e-mail message while ignoring any content to which styles were deliberately applied (since this style was implicitly applied to message text without user interaction).

If this element is specified on a style of any type other than a character style, this element shall be ignored. If no style whose @styleId matches the @val attribute of this element exists or that style is not a character style, this element shall be ignored.

If this element is omitted, then the current style shall not be considered a message text style in the context of e-mail messages.

example: 
<w:style w:styleId="EmailText" w:type="character" >
  <w:name w:val="EmailText"/>
  <w:personal w:val="true" />
  <w:rPr>
    …
  </w:rPr>
</w:style>

This style specifies via the use of the <personal> element that this style is a style used to format message text in the context of e-mail. ]

Attributes

Description

<val> (On/Off Value)

Specifies a binary value for the property defined by the parent XML element.

A value of on, 1, or true specifies that the property shall be explicitly applied. This is the default value for this attribute, and is implied when the parent element is present, but this attribute is omitted.

A value of off, 0, or false specifies that the property shall be explicitly turned off.

<w:… w:val="off"/>

The @val attribute explicitly declares that the property is turned off. ]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_OnOff simple type (§2.18.67).

The following XML Schema fragment defines the contents of this element:

<complexType name="CT_OnOff">
	<attribute name="val" type="ST_OnOff"/>
</complexType>
