Description
w:textboxTightWrap specifies how tightly a paragraph inside a text box wraps its content. It allows the text box to visually shrink its bounding box to the actual text extent for some or all lines, rather than occupying the full text box width.
It is defined in ECMA-376 Part 1 §17.3.1.37.
