sectPr (Document Final Section Properties)

This element defines the section properties for the final section of the document. [Note: For any other section the properties are stored as a child element of the paragraph element corresponding to the last paragraph in the given section. end note]

[Example: Consider a document with multiple sections. For all sections except the final section, the sectPr element is stored as a child element of the last paragraph in the section. For the final section, this information is stored as the last child element of the body element, as follows:

<w:body>  
  <w:p>  
  …  </w:p>  
  …  <w:sectPr>  
    (final section's properties)  </w:sectPr>  
</w:body>

Attributes	Description
rsidDel (Section Deletion Revision ID)	Specifies a unique identifier used to track the editing session when the section mark for this section was deleted from the document. All rsid* attributes throughout this document of an equal value, if present, shall indicate that those regions were modified during the same editing session. A producer can choose to increment the revision save ID value to indicate subsequent editing sessions (editing between save actions) to indicate the order of the saves performed. The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_LongHexNumber simple type (§17.18.50).
rsidR (Section Addition Revision ID)	Specifies a unique identifier used to track the editing session when the section mark for this section was added to the document. All rsid* attributes throughout this document of an equal value, if present, shall indicate that those regions were modified during the same editing session. A producer can choose to increment the revision save ID value to indicate subsequent editing sessions (editing between save actions) to indicate the order of the saves performed. The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_LongHexNumber simple type (§17.18.50).
rsidRPr (Physical Section Mark Character Revision ID)	Specifies a unique identifier used to track the editing session when the physical character representing this section mark was last formatted. All rsid* attributes throughout this document of an equal value, if present, shall indicate that those regions were modified during the same editing session. A producer can choose to increment the revision save ID value to indicate subsequent editing sessions (editing between save actions) to indicate the order of the saves performed. The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_LongHexNumber simple type (§17.18.50).
