node = doc.first_section.body.first_child
while node is not None:
    print()
    print('Node type:', aw.Node.node_type_to_string(node.node_type))
    contents = node.get_text().strip()
    print('This node contains no text' if contents == '' else f'Contents: "{node.get_text().strip()}"')
    node = node.next_sibling
