Description

w:ftr is the root element of a footer part (footer{n}.xml). It is defined in ECMA-376 Part 1 §17.10.2.

The footer part is a separate XML file linked from the main document via a w:footerReference relationship. Like w:hdr, it may contain paragraphs and tables, and must contain at least one paragraph. Page number fields (PAGE, NUMPAGES) are commonly placed in footer paragraphs.
