## Section.body property

Returns the [Body](../../body/) child node of the section.



```js
get body(): Aspose.Words.Body
```

### Remarks

[Body](../../body/) contains main text of the section.

Returns ``null`` if the section does not have a [Body](../../body/) node among its children.




### Examples

Clears main text from all sections from the document leaving the sections themselves.

```js
let doc = new aw.Document();

// A blank document contains one section, one body and one paragraph.
// Call the "RemoveAllChildren" method to remove all those nodes,
// and end up with a document node with no children.
doc.removeAllChildren();

// This document now has no composite child nodes that we can add content to.
// If we wish to edit it, we will need to repopulate its node collection.
// First, create a new section, and then append it as a child to the root document node.
let section = new aw.Section(doc);
doc.appendChild(section);

// A section needs a body, which will contain and display all its contents
// on the page between the section's header and footer.
let body = new aw.Body(doc);
section.appendChild(body);

// This body has no children, so we cannot add runs to it yet.
expect(doc.firstSection.body.getChildNodes(aw.NodeType.Any, true).count).toEqual(0);

// Call the "EnsureMinimum" to make sure that this body contains at least one empty paragraph. 
body.ensureMinimum();

// Now, we can add runs to the body, and get the document to display them.
body.firstParagraph.appendChild(new aw.Run(doc, "Hello world!"));

expect(doc.getText().trim()).toEqual("Hello world!");
```
