Gets or sets a scaling factor for the symbol. The value is in whole percentage points and the valid values are [10, 1000]
Public propertyCode exampleSeparator
Gets the node that represents the field separator. Can be null.
(Inherited from Field.)
Public propertyCode exampleStart
Gets the node that represents the start of the field.
(Inherited from Field.)

Methods
  NameDescription
Public methodEquals (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodCode exampleGetFieldCode
Returns text between field start and field separator (or field end if there is no separator). Both field code and field result of child fields are included.
(Inherited from Field.)
Public methodCode exampleGetFieldCode(Boolean)
Returns text between field start and field separator (or field end if there is no separator).
(Inherited from Field.)
Public methodGetHashCode (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodGetType (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodCode exampleRemove
Removes the field from the document. Returns a node right after the field. If the field's end is the last child of its parent node, returns its parent paragraph. If the field is already removed, returns null.
(Inherited from Field.)
Public methodToString (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodCode exampleUnlink
Performs the field unlink.
(Inherited from Field.)
