Examples

Shows how to specify a for the number of characters that each line may have.

doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc=doc)
# Enable pitching, and then use it to set the number of characters per line in this section.
builder.page_setup.layout_mode = aw.SectionLayoutMode.GRID
builder.page_setup.characters_per_line = 10
# The number of characters also depends on the size of the font.
doc.styles.get_by_name('Normal').font.size = 20
self.assertEqual(8, doc.first_section.page_setup.characters_per_line)
builder.writeln('Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.')
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'PageSetup.CharactersPerLine.docx')

Shows how to specify a limit for the number of lines that each page may have.

doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc=doc)
# Enable pitching, and then use it to set the number of lines per page in this section.
# A large enough font size will push some lines down onto the next page to avoid overlapping characters.
builder.page_setup.layout_mode = aw.SectionLayoutMode.LINE_GRID
builder.page_setup.lines_per_page = 15
builder.paragraph_format.snap_to_grid = True
i = 0
while i < 30:
    builder.write('Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. ')
    i += 1
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'PageSetup.LinesPerPage.docx')
