continuous_section_page_numbering_restart property

LayoutOptions.continuous_section_page_numbering_restart property

Gets or sets the mode of behavior for computing page numbers when a continuous section restarts the page numbering.

@property
def continuous_section_page_numbering_restart(self) -> aspose.words.layout.ContinuousSectionRestart:
    ...

@continuous_section_page_numbering_restart.setter
def continuous_section_page_numbering_restart(self, value: aspose.words.layout.ContinuousSectionRestart):
    ...

Remarks

The default value is ContinuousSectionRestart.ALWAYS. It matches the behavior of MS Word 2019 which was the latest version at the moment the option was introduced. Older page numbering logic demonstrated by MS Word 2016 is available via this option. Please ContinuousSectionRestart for the behavior description.

Examples

Shows how to control page numbering in a continuous section.

doc = aw.Document(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.FROM_NEW_PAGE_ONLY'.
# 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(ARTIFACTS_DIR + "Layout.restart_page_numbering_in_continuous_section.pdf")
