Hello Olivier,
Wikipedia explains the concept: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_text
My guess is that possibly "body" refers to the largest mass or "bulk" of
the text, or maybe the metaphor is "head and body" (headings being the
"head").
Other languages may use different metaphors, though.
We translate it as LOTekstBlok, meaning "block of text"
Regards,
Kees

internet and in several languages, including in doc from other software
