Examples

Shows how to specify a bookmark’s spanned pages as a page range for an INDEX field entry.

doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc=doc)
# Create an INDEX field which will display an entry for each XE field found in the document.
# Each entry will display the XE field's Text property value on the left side,
# and the number of the page that contains the XE field on the right.
# The INDEX entry will collect all XE fields with matching values in the "Text" property
# into one entry as opposed to making an entry for each XE field.
index = builder.insert_field(field_type=aw.fields.FieldType.FIELD_INDEX, update_field=True).as_field_index()
# For INDEX entries that display page ranges, we can specify a separator string
# which will appear between the number of the first page, and the number of the last.
index.page_number_separator = ', on page(s) '
index.page_range_separator = ' to '
self.assertEqual(' INDEX  \\e ", on page(s) " \\g " to "', index.get_field_code())
builder.insert_break(aw.BreakType.PAGE_BREAK)
index_entry = builder.insert_field(field_type=aw.fields.FieldType.FIELD_INDEX_ENTRY, update_field=True).as_field_xe()
index_entry.text = 'My entry'
# If an XE field names a bookmark using the PageRangeBookmarkName property,
# its INDEX entry will show the range of pages that the bookmark spans
# instead of the number of the page that contains the XE field.
index_entry.page_range_bookmark_name = 'MyBookmark'
self.assertEqual(' XE  "My entry" \\r MyBookmark', index_entry.get_field_code())
self.assertEqual('MyBookmark', index_entry.page_range_bookmark_name)
# Insert a bookmark that starts on page 3 and ends on page 5.
# The INDEX entry for the XE field that references this bookmark will display this page range.
# In our table, the INDEX entry will display "My entry, on page(s) 3 to 5".
builder.insert_break(aw.BreakType.PAGE_BREAK)
builder.start_bookmark('MyBookmark')
builder.write('Start of MyBookmark')
builder.insert_break(aw.BreakType.PAGE_BREAK)
builder.insert_break(aw.BreakType.PAGE_BREAK)
builder.write('End of MyBookmark')
builder.end_bookmark('MyBookmark')
doc.update_page_layout()
doc.update_fields()
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'Field.INDEX.XE.PageRangeBookmark.docx')
