Open XML default textbox left/right padding

[David Thielen]

Hi;

The docs say the default for <v:shape ...
style="mso-wrap-distance-left:0;mso-wrap-distance-right:0" ...> but when you
create a text box with no mso-wrap-distance-left/right in the style= it
appears to use a value of 9.3 points.

Am I missing something in the documentation or does this have a non-zero
default for a textbox?

full XML:
<wict>
<v:shapetype id="_x0000_t202" coordsize="21600,21600" o:spt="202"
path="m,l,21600r21600,l21600,xe">
<v:stroke joinstyle="miter"/>
<vath gradientshapeok="t" o:connecttype="rect"/>
</v:shapetype>
<v:shape id="_x0000_s1026" type="#_x0000_t202"
style="position:absolute;margin-left:.75pt;margin-top:1.05pt;width:1in;height:1in;z-index:1;mso-position-horizontal-relative:margin"
fillcolor="yellow" strokecolor="red" strokeweight="1pt">
<v:textbox style="mso-next-textbox:#_x0000_s1026"
inset="14.4pt,10.8pt,14.4pt,10.8pt">
<w:txbxContent>
<w wsp:rsidR="000F6857" wsp:rsidRDefault="00D14015">
<w:r>
<w:t>My text box</w:t>
</w:r>
</w>
</w:txbxContent>
</v:textbox>
<w10:wrap type="square" anchorx="margin"/>
</v:shape>
</wict>

Hello Dave,

I've reproduced the issue that you described. When I removed the attributes
mso-wrap-distance-left:0;mso-wrap-distance-right:0; from word xml, Word
interprets it as left: 0.32cm, and right: 0.32cm. And based on my test,
this behavior is consistent in Word 2007, 2003, XP. I am asking the Word
team for the background information and will get back to you soon. Thanks
for your patience.

Hello Dave,

The Word team has confirmed they are aware that there are places they
differ from the spec and are working toward a solution in that area. In
Word, the default value is actually 9pt.

If you have any other concerns or questions, feel free to let me know.

What's amazing is the spec is over 5,000 pages, and is still incomplete.
Thank them for answering these details quickly, and ask them to please get an
updated spec out ASAP.

Is this default padding for text boxes only or any other shapes too?

Hello Dave,

Thanks for the suggestions. I will let the Word team know them.

Yes, this is for any other shapes in Word.
