`2.4.2 bottom` (Table Cell Bottom Margin Exception)

This element specifies the amount of space which shall be left between the bottom extent of the cell contents and the border of a specific table cell within a table. This setting shall override the table cell bottom margin definition specified by the bottom element contained within the table properties (§2.4.5).

This value is specified in the units applied via its type attribute. Any width value of type pct or auto for this element shall be ignored.

If omitted, then this table cell shall use the bottom cell margins defined in the bottom element contained within the table properties (§2.4.5).

[Example: Consider a table with two cells in which the first table cell's bottom margin is specified via an exception to be ten times larger (0.2 inches vs. 0.02 inches) than the other table cell margins:

This text fills the extents of the cell.

So does this

The first cell in the table would be specified using the following WordprocessingML:

<w:tc> <w:tcPr> <w:tcMar> <w:bottom w:w="288" w:type="dxa" /> </w:tcMar> </w:tcPr> </w:tc>

The first cell in this table has an exception applied to the table cell bottom cell margin setting it to 288 twentieths of a point (0.2 inches). end example]

Attributes	Description
`type` (Table Width Type)	Specifies the units of the width property being defined by the parent element's `w` attribute. This property is used to define various properties of a table, including: cell spacing, preferred width, and table margins. If this attribute is omitted, then its value shall be assumed to be `dxa` (twentieths of a point). [Example: Consider a table with a table cell bottom cell spacing with a `type` of `dxa`, as follows: `<w:bottom ... w:type="dxa" />` This `type` shall therefore be used to interpret the width specified in the `w` attribute as a value in twentieths of a point. end example] The possible values for this attribute are defined by the `ST_TblWidth` simple type (§2.18.97).
`w` (Table Width Value)	Specifies the value of the width property being defined by the parent element. This property is used to define various properties of a table, including: cell spacing, preferred widths, and table margins. If this attribute is omitted, then its value shall be assumed to be `0`. [Example: Consider a table with a bottom margin with a width of `302`, as follows: `<w:bottom w:w="302" w:type="dxa" />` The value in the `w` attribute shall therefore be used to determine the width being specified in the context of the units specified in the `type` attribute. In this case, the `type` is twentieths of a point (`dxa`), so the width is `302` twentieths of a point (.2097 inches). end example] The possible values for this attribute are defined by the `ST_DecimalNumber` simple type (§2.18.16).

Attributes

Description

type (Table Width Type)

Specifies the units of the width property being defined by the parent element's w attribute. This property is used to define various properties of a table, including: cell spacing, preferred width, and table margins.

If this attribute is omitted, then its value shall be assumed to be dxa (twentieths of a point).

[Example: Consider a table with a table cell bottom cell spacing with a type of dxa, as follows:

<w:bottom ... w:type="dxa" />

This type shall therefore be used to interpret the width specified in the w attribute as a value in twentieths of a point. end example]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_TblWidth simple type (§2.18.97).

w (Table Width Value)

Specifies the value of the width property being defined by the parent element. This property is used to define various properties of a table, including: cell spacing, preferred widths, and table margins.

If this attribute is omitted, then its value shall be assumed to be 0.

[Example: Consider a table with a bottom margin with a width of 302, as follows:

<w:bottom w:w="302" w:type="dxa" />

The value in the w attribute shall therefore be used to determine the width being specified in the context of the units specified in the type attribute. In this case, the type is twentieths of a point (dxa), so the width is 302 twentieths of a point (.2097 inches). end example]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_DecimalNumber simple type (§2.18.16).
