PageNumber =
Doc.createInstance("com.sun.star.text.textfield.PageNumber")
PageNumber.NumberingType = com.sun.star.style.NumberingType.ARABIC
PageStyles = Doc.StyleFamilies.getByName("PageStyles")
StdPage = PageStyles("Default")
StdPage.FooterIsOn = True
FooterCursor = StdPage.FooterTextLeft.Text.createTextCursor()
StdPage.FooterTextLeft.Text.insertTextContent(FooterCursor, PageNumber,
False)
The example first creates a text field which supports the
com.sun.star.text.textfield.PageNumber
service. Since the header and footer lines are defined as part of the page templates of
OpenOffice.org, this is initially established using the list of all PageStyles.
To ensure that the footer line is visible, the FooterIsOn property is set to True. The text
field is then inserted in the document using the associated text object of the left-hand footer
line.
Annotations
Annotation fields (
com.sun.star.text.textfield.Annotation
) can be seen by means of a small yellow symbol in the text. Clicking on this symbol opens a
text field, in which a comment on the current point in the text can be recorded. An
annotation field has the following properties.
Author (String)
name of author.
Content (String)
comment text.
Date (Date)
date on which annotation is written.
