Examples

Shows how to number paragraphs using AUTONUMOUT fields.

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// AUTONUMOUT fields display a number that increments at each AUTONUMOUT field.
// Unlike AUTONUM fields, AUTONUMOUT fields use the outline numbering scheme,
// which we can define in Microsoft Word via Format -> Bullets & Numbering -> "Outline Numbered".
// This allows us to automatically number items like a numbered list.
// LISTNUM fields are a newer alternative to AUTONUMOUT fields.
// This field will display "1.".
builder.InsertField(FieldType.FieldAutoNumOutline, true);
builder.Writeln("\tParagraph 1.");

// This field will display "2.".
builder.InsertField(FieldType.FieldAutoNumOutline, true);
builder.Writeln("\tParagraph 2.");

foreach (FieldAutoNumOut field in doc.Range.Fields.Where(f => f.Type == FieldType.FieldAutoNumOutline))
    Assert.AreEqual(" AUTONUMOUT ", field.GetFieldCode());

doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "Field.AUTONUMOUT.docx");
