2.4.62 tc (Table Cell)

This element specifies a single cell in a table row, which contains the table's content. Table cells in WordprocessingML are analogous to HTML td elements.

A tc element has one formatting child element, tcPr (§2.4.67), which defines the properties for the cell. Each unique property on the table cell is specified by a child element of this element. As well, a table cell can contain any valid block-level content, which allows for the nesting of paragraphs and tables within table cells.

If a table cell does not include at least one block-level element, then this document shall be considered corrupt.

[Example: Consider a table consisting of a single table cell, which contains the text Hello World:

This table cell's content is represented by the following WordprocessingML:

<w:tc>
  <w:tcPr>
    <w:tcW w:w="0" w:type="auto"/>
  </w:tcPr>
  <w:p>
    <w:r>
      <w:t>Hello, World</w:t>
    </w:r>
  </w:p>
</w:tc>

The tc element contains a set of cell-level properties defined using the tcPr element, and a single block-level element - in this case, a paragraph. end example]

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

<complexType name="CT_Tc">

<sequence>

<element name="tcPr" type="CT_TcPr" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/>

<group ref="EG_BlockLevelElts" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>

</sequence>

</complexType>
