builder.getListFormat().removeNumbers();

builder.getDocument().save(getArtifactsDir() + "Lists.CreateAndUseListStyle.docx");

public ListFormat getListFormat()

Provides access to the list formatting properties of a paragraph style.

This property is only valid for paragraph styles. For other style types this property returns null.

Example:

Shows how to create and use a paragraph style with list formatting.

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

// Create a custom paragraph style.
Style style = doc.getStyles().add(StyleType.PARAGRAPH, "MyStyle1");
style.getFont().setSize(24.0);

Example:

Shows how to access a document's style collection.

Document doc = new Document();

Assert.assertEquals(4, doc.getStyles().getCount());

// Enumerate and list all the styles that a document created using Aspose.Words contains by default.

// The AddCopy method creates a copy of the specified style and
// automatically generates a new name for the style, such as "Heading 1_0".
Style newStyle = doc.getStyles().addCopy(doc.getStyles().get("Heading 1"));

// Use the style's "Name" property to change the style's identifying name.
newStyle.setName("My Heading 1");

// Our document now has two identical looking styles with different names.
// Changing settings of one of the styles do not affect the other.

Document doc = new Document();

Assert.assertEquals(4, doc.getStyles().getCount());

// Enumerate and list all the styles that a document created using Aspose.Words contains by default.

builder.getDocument().save(getArtifactsDir() + "Styles.ParagraphStyleBulletedList.docx");

public int getStyleIdentifier()

Gets the locale independent style identifier for a built-in style. The value of the property is StyleIdentifier integer constant.

For user defined (custom) styles, this property returns StyleIdentifier.USER.

Example:

Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Table of contents.docx");

// Iterate through all paragraphs with TOC result-based styles; this is any style between TOC and TOC9.
for (Paragraph para : (Iterable<Paragraph>) doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.PARAGRAPH, true)) {
    if (para.getParagraphFormat().getStyle().getStyleIdentifier() >= StyleIdentifier.TOC_1
            && para.getParagraphFormat().getStyle().getStyleIdentifier() <= StyleIdentifier.TOC_9) {
        // Get the first tab used in this paragraph, this should be the tab used to align the page numbers.
        TabStop tab = para.getParagraphFormat().getTabStops().get(0);

        // Replace the first default tab, stop with a custom tab stop.
        para.getParagraphFormat().getTabStops().removeByPosition(tab.getPosition());
        para.getParagraphFormat().getTabStops().add(tab.getPosition() - 50.0, tab.getAlignment(), tab.getLeader());

Iterator<Style> stylesEnum = doc.getStyles().iterator();
while (stylesEnum.hasNext()) {
    Style curStyle = stylesEnum.next();

    System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("\tIs QuickStyle:\t\t{0}", curStyle.isQuickStyle()));

    Assert.assertEquals(curStyle.getDocument(), doc);
}

public int getType()

Gets the style type (paragraph or character). The value of the property is StyleType integer constant.

Example:

Shows how to access a document's style collection.

Document doc = new Document();

Assert.assertEquals(4, doc.getStyles().getCount());

// Enumerate and list all the styles that a document created using Aspose.Words contains by default.
Iterator<Style> stylesEnum = doc.getStyles().iterator();
while (stylesEnum.hasNext()) {

    Assert.assertEquals(curStyle.getDocument(), doc);
}

public boolean equals(Style style)

Compares with the specified style. Styles Istds are compared for built-in styles only. Styles defaults are not included in comparison. Base style, linked style and next paragraph style are recursively compared.

Example:

Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Style with alias.docx");

// This document contains a style named "MyStyle,MyStyle Alias 1,MyStyle Alias 2".
// If a style's name has multiple values separated by commas, each clause is a separate alias.

        doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getParagraphs().get(1).getParagraphFormat().getStyle());

public void remove()

Removes the specified style from the document.

Style removal has following effects on the document model:

• All references to the style are removed from corresponding paragraphs, runs and tables.
• If base style is removed its formatting is moved to child styles.
• If style to be deleted has a linked style, then both of these are deleted.

Example:

Shows how to create and apply a custom style.

Document doc = new Document();

Style style = doc.getStyles().add(StyleType.PARAGRAPH, "MyStyle");

builder.getParagraphFormat().setStyle(doc.getStyles().get("MyStyle"));
builder.writeln("Hello world!");

Style firstParagraphStyle = doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph().getParagraphFormat().getStyle();

Assert.assertEquals(style, firstParagraphStyle);

// Remove our custom style from the document's styles collection.
doc.getStyles().get("MyStyle").remove();

firstParagraphStyle = doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph().getParagraphFormat().getStyle();
