def __init__(self, doc: aspose.words.DocumentBase, text: str):

Examples

Shows how to construct an Aspose.Words document by hand.

doc = aw.Document()

# A blank document contains one section, one body and one paragraph.
# Call the "remove_all_children" method to remove all those nodes,
# and end up with a document node with no children.
doc.remove_all_children()

# This document now has no composite child nodes that we can add content to.
# If we wish to edit it, we will need to repopulate its node collection.
# First, create a new section, and then append it as a child to the root document node.
section = aw.Section(doc)
doc.append_child(section)

# Set some page setup properties for the section.
section.page_setup.section_start = aw.SectionStart.NEW_PAGE
section.page_setup.paper_size = aw.PaperSize.LETTER

# A section needs a body, which will contain and display all its contents
# on the page between the section's header and footer.
body = aw.Body(doc)
section.append_child(body)

# Create a paragraph, set some formatting properties, and then append it as a child to the body.
para = aw.Paragraph(doc)

para.paragraph_format.style_name = "Heading 1"
para.paragraph_format.alignment = aw.ParagraphAlignment.CENTER

body.append_child(para)

# Finally, add some content to do the document. Create a run,
# set its appearance and contents, and then append it as a child to the paragraph.
run = aw.Run(doc)
run.text = "Hello World!"
run.font.color = drawing.Color.red
para.append_child(run)

self.assertEqual("Hello World!", doc.get_text().strip())

doc.save(ARTIFACTS_DIR + "Section.create_manually.docx")

Shows how to format a run of text using its font property.

doc = aw.Document()
run = aw.Run(doc, "Hello world!")

font = run.font
font.name = "Courier New"
font.size = 36
font.highlight_color = drawing.Color.yellow

doc.first_section.body.first_paragraph.append_child(run)
doc.save(ARTIFACTS_DIR + "Font.create_formatted_run.docx")
