Examples

Shows how to insert an ADVANCE field, and edit its properties.

doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc)
builder.write('This text is in its normal place.')
# Below are two ways of using the ADVANCE field to adjust the position of text that follows it.
# The effects of an ADVANCE field continue to be applied until the paragraph ends,
# or another ADVANCE field updates the offset/coordinate values.
# 1 -  Specify a directional offset:
field = builder.insert_field(aw.fields.FieldType.FIELD_ADVANCE, True).as_field_advance()
field.right_offset = '5'
field.up_offset = '5'
self.assertEqual(' ADVANCE  \\r 5 \\u 5', field.get_field_code())
builder.write('This text will be moved up and to the right.')
field = builder.insert_field(aw.fields.FieldType.FIELD_ADVANCE, True).as_field_advance()
field.down_offset = '5'
field.left_offset = '100'
self.assertEqual(' ADVANCE  \\d 5 \\l 100', field.get_field_code())
builder.writeln('This text is moved down and to the left, overlapping the previous text.')
# 2 -  Move text to a position specified by coordinates:
field = builder.insert_field(aw.fields.FieldType.FIELD_ADVANCE, True).as_field_advance()
field.horizontal_position = '-100'
field.vertical_position = '200'
self.assertEqual(' ADVANCE  \\x -100 \\y 200', field.get_field_code())
builder.write('This text is in a custom position.')
doc.save(ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'Field.field_advance.docx')
