Examples

Shows how to control page numbering in a continuous section.

doc = aw.Document(file_name=MY_DIR + 'Continuous section page numbering.docx')
# By default Aspose.Words behavior matches the Microsoft Word 2019.
# If you need old Aspose.Words behavior, repetitive Microsoft Word 2016, use 'ContinuousSectionRestart.FromNewPageOnly'.
# Page numbering restarts only if there is no other content before the section on the page where the section starts,
# because of that the numbering will reset to 2 from the second page.
doc.layout_options.continuous_section_page_numbering_restart = aw.layout.ContinuousSectionRestart.FROM_NEW_PAGE_ONLY
doc.update_page_layout()
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'Layout.RestartPageNumberingInContinuousSection.pdf')
