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.

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.
