• getListFormat

  public ListFormat getListFormat()
  

  Provides access to the list formatting properties of a paragraph style.

  This property is only valid for paragraph styles. For other style types this property returns null.

  Example:

  Shows how to create and use a paragraph style with list formatting.

  Document doc = new Document();
  DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
  
  // Create a paragraph style and specify some formatting for it
  Style style = doc.getStyles().add(StyleType.PARAGRAPH, "MyStyle1");
  style.getFont().setSize(24.0);
  style.getFont().setName("Verdana");
  style.getParagraphFormat().setSpaceAfter(12.0);
  
  // Create a list and make sure the paragraphs that use this style will use this list
  style.getListFormat().setList(doc.getLists().add(ListTemplate.BULLET_DEFAULT));
  style.getListFormat().setListLevelNumber(0);
  
  // Apply the paragraph style to the current paragraph in the document and add some text
  builder.getParagraphFormat().setStyle(style);
  builder.writeln("Hello World: MyStyle1, bulleted list.");
  
  // Change to a paragraph style that has no list formatting

  builder.writeln("Hello World: Normal.");
  
  builder.getDocument().save(getArtifactsDir() + "Styles.ParagraphStyleBulletedList.docx");

• getName/setName

  public java.lang.String getName() / public void setName(java.lang.String value)
  

  Gets or sets the name of the style.

  Can not be empty string.

  If there already is a style with such name in the collection, then this style will override it. All affected nodes will reference new style.

  Example:

  Shows how to copy a style within the same document.

  Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Document.docx");
  
  // The AddCopy method creates a copy of the specified style and automatically generates a new name for the style, such as "Heading 1_0"
  Style newStyle = doc.getStyles().addCopy(doc.getStyles().get("Heading 1"));
  // You can change the new style name if required as the Style.Name property is read-write
  newStyle.setName("My Heading 1");

  Example:

  Shows how to access a document's style collection.

  Document doc = new Document();
  
  // A blank document comes with 4 styles by default
  Assert.assertEquals(4, doc.getStyles().getCount());
  
  Iterator<Style> stylesEnum = doc.getStyles().iterator();
  while (stylesEnum.hasNext()) {
      Style curStyle = stylesEnum.next();
      System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("Style name:\t\"{0}\", of type \"{1}\"", curStyle.getName(), curStyle.getType()));
      System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("\tSubsequent style:\t{0}", curStyle.getNextParagraphStyleName()));
      System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("\tIs heading:\t\t\t{0}", curStyle.isHeading()));

  This property is not used by Aspose.Words. The next paragraph style will only be applied automatically when you edit the document in MS Word.

  Example:

  Shows how to access a document's style collection.

  Document doc = new Document();
  
  // A blank document comes with 4 styles by default
  Assert.assertEquals(4, doc.getStyles().getCount());

  while (stylesEnum.hasNext()) {
      Style curStyle = stylesEnum.next();
      System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("Style name:\t\"{0}\", of type \"{1}\"", curStyle.getName(), curStyle.getType()));
      System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("\tSubsequent style:\t{0}", curStyle.getNextParagraphStyleName()));
      System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("\tIs heading:\t\t\t{0}", curStyle.isHeading()));

  // The conditional style of a table can be configured to apply a different color to the row/column,
  // based on whether the row/column is even or odd, creating an alternating color pattern
  // We can also apply a number n to the row/column banding, meaning that the color alternates after every n rows/columns instead of one 
  // Create a table where the columns will be banded by single columns and rows will banded in threes
  Table table = builder.startTable();
  
  for (int i = 0; i < 15; i++) {
      for (int j = 0; j < 4; j++) {

Method Detail

• equals

  public boolean equals(Style style)

  Compares with the specified style. Styles Istds are compared for built-in styles only. Styles defaults are not included in comparison. Base style, linked style and next paragraph style are recursively compared.

  Example:

  Shows how to use style aliases.

  Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Style with alias.docx");
  
  // If a style's name has multiple values separated by commas, each one is considered to be a separate alias
  Style style = doc.getStyles().get("MyStyle");
  Assert.assertEquals(new String[]{"MyStyle Alias 1", "MyStyle Alias 2"}, style.getAliases());
  Assert.assertEquals("Title", style.getBaseStyleName());
  Assert.assertEquals("MyStyle Char", style.getLinkedStyleName());
  
  // A style can be referenced by alias as well as name
  Assert.assertEquals(style, doc.getStyles().get("MyStyle Alias 1"));

• remove

  public void remove()

  Removes the specified style from the document.

  Style removal has following effects on the document model:

  • All references to the style are removed from corresponding paragraphs, runs and tables.
  • If base style is removed its formatting is moved to child styles.
  • If style to be deleted has a linked style, then both of these are deleted.

  Example:

  Shows how to create and apply a style.

  Document doc = new Document();
  
  // Add a custom style and change its appearance
  Style style = doc.getStyles().add(StyleType.PARAGRAPH, "MyStyle");
  style.getFont().setName("Times New Roman");
  style.getFont().setSize(16.0);
  style.getFont().setColor(Color.magenta);
  
  // Write a paragraph in that style
  DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
  builder.getParagraphFormat().setStyle(doc.getStyles().get("MyStyle"));
  builder.writeln("Hello world!");
  
  Style firstParagraphStyle = doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph().getParagraphFormat().getStyle();
  
  Assert.assertEquals(style, firstParagraphStyle);
  
  // Styles can also be removed from the collection like this
  doc.getStyles().get("MyStyle").remove();
  
  firstParagraphStyle = doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph().getParagraphFormat().getStyle();
  
  // Removing the style reverts the styling of the text that was in that style
  Assert.assertEquals("Times New Roman", firstParagraphStyle.getFont().getName());
  Assert.assertEquals(12.0d, firstParagraphStyle.getFont().getSize());
  Assert.assertEquals(0, firstParagraphStyle.getFont().getColor().getRGB());
