public class DocumentBuilder
DocumentBuilder makes the process of building a Document easier.
Document is a composite object consisting of a tree of nodes and while inserting content
nodes directly into the tree is possible, it requires good understanding of the tree structure.
DocumentBuilder is a "facade" for the complex structure of Document and allows
to insert content and formatting quickly and easily. Create a DocumentBuilder and associate it with a The DocumentBuilder has an internal cursor where the text will be inserted
when you call Use the Use the Use the Use the Note that Font, ParagraphFormat and PageSetup properties are updated whenever
you navigate to a different place in the document to reflect formatting properties available at the new location. Example: Example: Example: Example:

insertField | |
public Field insertField(java.lang.String fieldCode, java.lang.String fieldValue) throws java.lang.Exception |
Fields in Microsoft Word documents consist of a field code and a field result. The field code is like a formula and the field result is like the value that the formula produces. The field code may also contain field switches that are like additional instructions to perform a specific action.
You can switch between displaying field codes and results in your document in Microsoft Word using the keyboard shortcut Alt+F9. Field codes appear between curly braces ( { } ).
To create a field, you need to specify a field type, field code and a "placeholder" field value. If you are not sure about a particular field code syntax, create the field in Microsoft Word first and switch to see its field code.
Aspose.Words can calculate field results for most of the field types, but this method
does not update the field result automatically. Because the field result is not calculated automatically,
you are expected to pass some string value (or even an empty string) that will be inserted into the field result.
This value will remain in the field result as a placeholder until the field is updated.
To update the field result you can call
fieldCode
- The field code to insert (without curly braces).fieldValue
- The field value to insert. Pass null for fields that do not have a value.Example:
Shows how to control page numbering per section.// This document has two sections, but no page numbers yet.

insertTableOfContents | |
public Field insertTableOfContents(java.lang.String switches) throws java.lang.Exception |
This method inserts a TOC (table of contents) field into the document at the current position.
A table of contents in a Word document can be built in a number of ways and formatted using a variety of options. The way the table is built and displayed by Microsoft Word is controlled by the field switches.
The easiest way to specify the switches is to insert and configure a table of contents into a Word document using the Insert->Reference->Index and Tables menu, then switch display of field codes on to see the switches. You can press Alt+F9 in Microsoft Word to toggle display of field codes on or off.
For example, after creating a table of contents, the following field is inserted into the document: { TOC \o "1-3" \h \z \u }. You can copy \o "1-3" \h \z \u and use it as the switches parameter.
Note that InsertTableOfContents will only insert a TOC field, but will not actually build the table of contents. The table of contents is built by Microsoft Word when the field is updated.
If you insert a table of contents using this method and then open the file in Microsoft Word, you will not see the table of contents because the TOC field has not yet been updated.
In Microsoft Word, fields are not automatically updated when a document is opened, but you can update fields in a document at any time by pressing F9.
switches
- The TOC field switches.Example:
Demonstrates how to insert a Table of contents (TOC) into a document using heading styles as entries.// Use a blank document Document doc = new Document(); // Create a document builder to insert content with into document. DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc); // Insert a table of contents at the beginning of the document. builder.insertTableOfContents("\\o \"1-3\" \\h \\z \\u"); // Start the actual document content on the second page. builder.insertBreak(BreakType.PAGE_BREAK); // Build a document with complex structure by applying different heading styles thus creating TOC entries. builder.getParagraphFormat().setStyleIdentifier(StyleIdentifier.HEADING_1); builder.writeln("Heading 1"); builder.getParagraphFormat().setStyleIdentifier(StyleIdentifier.HEADING_2); builder.writeln("Heading 1.1"); builder.writeln("Heading 1.2"); builder.getParagraphFormat().setStyleIdentifier(StyleIdentifier.HEADING_1); builder.writeln("Heading 2"); builder.writeln("Heading 3"); builder.getParagraphFormat().setStyleIdentifier(StyleIdentifier.HEADING_2); builder.writeln("Heading 3.1"); builder.getParagraphFormat().setStyleIdentifier(StyleIdentifier.HEADING_3); builder.writeln("Heading 3.1.1"); builder.writeln("Heading 3.1.2"); builder.writeln("Heading 3.1.3"); builder.getParagraphFormat().setStyleIdentifier(StyleIdentifier.HEADING_2); builder.writeln("Heading 3.2"); builder.writeln("Heading 3.3"); // Call the method below to update the TOC. doc.updateFields();

Moves the cursor to a position just after the start of the bookmark with the specified name.
The comparison is not case-sensitive. If the bookmark was not found, false is returned and the cursor is not moved.
Inserting new text does not replace existing text of the bookmark.
Note that some bookmarks in the document are assigned to form fields. Moving to such a bookmark and inserting text there inserts the text into the form field code. Although this will not invalidate the form field, the inserted text will not be visible because it becomes part of the field code.
bookmarkName
- The name of the bookmark to move the cursor to.Example:
Shows how to move between nodes and manipulate current ones.Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "DocumentBuilder.WorkingWithNodes.doc"); DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc); // Move to a bookmark and delete the parent paragraph. builder.moveToBookmark("ParaToDelete"); builder.getCurrentParagraph().remove(); // Move to a particular paragraph's run and replace all occurrences of "bad" with "good" within this run. builder.moveTo(doc.getLastSection().getBody().getParagraphs().get(0).getRuns().get(0)); builder.getCurrentNode().getRange().replace("bad", "good", false, true); // Mark the beginning of the document. builder.moveToDocumentStart(); builder.writeln("Start of document."); // Mark the ending of the document. builder.moveToDocumentEnd(); builder.writeln("End of document."); doc.save(getMyDir() + "DocumentBuilder.WorkingWithNodes Out.doc");
