Examples
Shows how to use STYLEREF fields.

# Create a list based using a Microsoft Word list template.
list = doc.lists.add(list_template=aw.lists.ListTemplate.NUMBER_DEFAULT)
# This generated list will display "1.a )".
# Space before the bracket is a non-delimiter character, which we can suppress.
list.list_levels[0].number_format = '\x00.'
list.list_levels[1].number_format = '\x01 )'
# Add text and apply paragraph styles that STYLEREF fields will reference.
