2.1 Stories

A WordprocessingML document is composed of a collection of stories. Each story represents a distinct region of text within the document. The following kinds of region exist: comment (§2.14.5), endnote (§2.12.2), footer (§2.11.2), footnote (§2.12.1), frame, glossary document (§2.13), header (§2.11.1), main story (§2.2), subdocument (§2.18.2), and text box (§2.18.1).

With one exception (a glossary document), all stories in a document utilize a common set of properties that determine the presentation of the contents of each story. These properties include font information, style definitions, numbering definitions, and document settings.
