GlossaryDocument class

GlossaryDocument class

Represents the root element for a glossary document within a Word document. A glossary document is a storage for AutoText, AutoCorrect entries and Building Blocks. To learn more, visit the Aspose.Words Document Object Model (DOM) documentation article.

Remarks

Some documents, usually templates, can contain AutoText, AutoCorrect entries and/or Building Blocks (also known as glossary document entries, document parts or building blocks).

To access building blocks, you need to load a document into a Document object. Building blocks will be available via the Document.glossary_document property.

GlossaryDocument can contain any number of BuildingBlock objects. Each BuildingBlock represents one document part.

Corresponds to the glossaryDocument and docParts elements in OOXML.
