Description

w:hdr is the root element of a header part (header{n}.xml). It is defined in ECMA-376 Part 1 §17.10.4.

The header part is a separate XML file in the OOXML package, linked from the main document via a w:headerReference relationship. w:hdr can contain any combination of paragraphs (w:p) and tables (w:tbl), just like w:body, but must contain at least one paragraph.
