The Structure of Text Documents 92 The example runs through a text document in a double loop. The outer loop refers to the paragraphs of the text. The inner loop processes the paragraph portions in these paragraphs. The example code modifies the content in each of these paragraph portions using the String property of the string. as is the case in the previous example for paragraphs. Since however, the paragraph portions are edited directly, their formatting information is retained when replacing the string. Formatting There are various ways of formatting text. The easiest way is to assign the format properties directly to the text sequence. This is called direct formatting. Direct formatting is used in particular with short documents because the formats can be assigned by the user with the mouse. You can, for example, highlight a certain word within a text using bold type or center a line. In addition to direct formatting, you can also format text using templates. This is called indirect formatting. With indirect formatting, the user assigns a pre-defined template to the relevant text portion. If the layout of the text is changed at a later date, the user only needs to change the template. OpenOffice.org then changes the way in which all text portions which use this template are depicted. In VBA, the formatting properties of an object are usually spread over a range of sub-objects (for example, Range.Font, Range.Borders, Range.Shading, Range.ParagraphFormat). The properties are accessed by means of cascading expressions (for example, Range.Font.AllCaps). In OpenOffice.org Basic, the formatting properties on the other hand are available directly, using the relevant objects (TextCursor, Paragraph, and so on). You will find an overview of the character and paragraph properties available in OpenOffice.org in the following two sections. The formatting properties can be found in each object (Paragraph, TextCursor, and so on) and can be applied directly. Character Properties Those format properties that refer to individual characters are described as character properties. These include bold type and the font type. Objects that allow character properties to be set have to support the com.sun.star.style.CharacterProperties service. OpenOffice.org recognizes a whole range of services that support this service. These include the previously described com.sun.star.text.Paragraph services for paragraphs as well as the com.sun.star.text.TextPortion services for paragraph portions. The com.sun.star.style.CharacterProperties
The Structure of Text Documents 93 service does not provide any interfaces, but instead offers a range of properties through which character properties can be defined and called. A complete list of all character properties can be found in the OpenOffice.org API reference. The following list describes the most important properties: CharFontName (String) name of font type selected. CharColor (Long) text color. CharHeight (Float) character height in points (pt). CharUnderline (Constant group) type of underscore (constants in accordance with com.sun.star.awt.FontUnderline ). CharWeight (Constant group) font weight (constants in accordance with com.sun.star.awt.FontWeight ). CharBackColor (Long) background color. CharKeepTogether (Boolean) suppression of automatic line break. CharStyleName (String) name of character template. Paragraph Properties Formatting information that does not refer to individual characters, but to the entire paragraph is considered to be a paragraph property. This includes the distance of the paragraph from the edge of the page as well as line spacing. The paragraph properties are available through the service. com.sun.star.style.ParagraphProperties Even the paragraph properties are available in various objects. All objects that support the . com.sun.star.text.Paragraph service also provide support for the paragraph properties in com.sun.star.style.ParagraphProperties
