Examples

Shows how to create unevenly spaced columns.

doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc=doc)
page_setup = builder.page_setup
columns = page_setup.text_columns
columns.evenly_spaced = False
columns.set_count(2)
# Determine the amount of room that we have available for arranging columns.
content_width = page_setup.page_width - page_setup.left_margin - page_setup.right_margin
self.assertAlmostEqual(470.3, content_width, delta=0.01)
# Set the first column to be narrow.
column = columns[0]
column.width = 100
column.space_after = 20
# Set the second column to take the rest of the space available within the margins of the page.
column = columns[1]
column.width = content_width - column.width - column.space_after
builder.writeln('Narrow column 1.')
builder.insert_break(aw.BreakType.COLUMN_BREAK)
builder.writeln('Wide column 2.')
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'PageSetup.CustomColumnWidth.docx')
