9.7.3.1 alignTablesRowByRow (Align Table Rows Independently)

This element specifies whether applications shall align each row within a table independently based on the alignment setting of the jc element (Part 1, §17.4.28) when displaying the contents of a table in a WordprocessingML document.

When the justification of a table using the jc element is typically applied, that alignment is applied to the contents of the table (the table is centered, left justified, or right-aligned), and then individual rows are laid out based on the resulting table's position. This element, when present with a val attribute value of true (or equivalent), specifies that each table row shall be independently aligned based on the table alignment setting, ignoring the placement of all other rows.

[Example: Consider a WordprocessingML document with a single centered table, whose second row is defined such that one-half of an inch is left before the row begins, as follows:

<w:tbl>
<w:tblPr>
<w:jc w:val="center" />
</w:tblPr>
<w:tr>
…
</w:tr>
<w:tr>
<w:trPr>
      <w:gridBefore w:val="1" /> 
      <w:wBefore w:w="720" w:type="dxa" />
</w:trPr>
…
</w:tr>
<w:tr>
…
</w:tr>
</w:tbl>

The default presentation would have the entire table centered, then the second row indented beyond that by 720 points:

However, if this compatibility setting is turned on:

<w:compat>
<w:alignTablesRowByRow />
</w:compat>

Then that second row would instead be centered on the page independently of the other table rows, resulting in the following output:

In this case, the wBefore element's value is ignored, since the row was centered on the line as a row, and there is no table to be indented relative to. end example]

Parent Elements
