## ensure_minimum() {#default}

Ensures that the section has [Section.body](../body/) with one [Paragraph](../../paragraph/).



```python
def ensure_minimum(self):
    ...
```

### Examples

Shows how to prepare a new section node for editing.

```python
doc = aw.Document()
# A blank document comes with a section, which has a body, which in turn has a paragraph.
# We can add contents to this document by adding elements such as text runs, shapes, or tables to that paragraph.
self.assertEqual(aw.NodeType.SECTION, doc.get_child(aw.NodeType.ANY, 0, True).node_type)
self.assertEqual(aw.NodeType.BODY, doc.sections[0].get_child(aw.NodeType.ANY, 0, True).node_type)
self.assertEqual(aw.NodeType.PARAGRAPH, doc.sections[0].body.get_child(aw.NodeType.ANY, 0, True).node_type)
# If we add a new section like this, it will not have a body, or any other child nodes.
doc.sections.add(aw.Section(doc))
self.assertEqual(0, doc.sections[1].get_child_nodes(aw.NodeType.ANY, True).count)
# Run the "EnsureMinimum" method to add a body and a paragraph to this section to begin editing it.
doc.last_section.ensure_minimum()
self.assertEqual(aw.NodeType.BODY, doc.sections[1].get_child(aw.NodeType.ANY, 0, True).node_type)
self.assertEqual(aw.NodeType.PARAGRAPH, doc.sections[1].body.get_child(aw.NodeType.ANY, 0, True).node_type)
doc.sections[0].body.first_paragraph.append_child(aw.Run(doc=doc, text='Hello world!'))
self.assertEqual('Hello world!', doc.get_text().strip())
```
