unlink | → inherited from Field |
public boolean unlink() throws java.lang.Exception |
Replaces the field with its most recent result.
Some fields, such as XE (Index Entry) fields and SEQ (Sequence) fields, cannot be unlinked.
True
if the field has been unlinked, otherwise false
.

This can easily be done by invoking the Remove method on the object. dateField.remove();
update | → inherited from Field |
public void update(boolean ignoreMergeFormat) throws java.lang.Exception |
ignoreMergeFormat
-
If true
then direct field result formatting is abandoned, regardless of the MERGEFORMAT switch, otherwise normal update is performed.
Example:
Shows a way to update a field ignoring the MERGEFORMAT switchLoadOptions loadOptions = new LoadOptions(); loadOptions.setPreserveIncludePictureField(true); Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Field.UpdateFieldIgnoringMergeFormat.docx", loadOptions); for (Field field : doc.getRange().getFields()) { if (((field.getType()) == (FieldType.FIELD_INCLUDE_PICTURE))) { FieldIncludePicture includePicture = (FieldIncludePicture) field; includePicture.setSourceFullName(getImageDir() + "dotnet-logo.png"); includePicture.update(true); } } doc.updateFields(); doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Field.UpdateFieldIgnoringMergeFormat.docx");
