Greetings,
I’m trying to figure out how to reset numbering in a list… but can’t seem to
figure out how this works.
I’ve searched the archives of this list, and found this same question
unanswered [1]. Hoping someone might be able to provide me with some hints on
how to do this.
So far, I’m doing this a bit differently than the original asker.
My approach is to use an existing Word Document as a Styles template. Within
the template I defined a style named "SRINumberList".
So to load the template and remove everything that's not in the Header or
Footer:
protected void createDocFromTemplate() {
try {
document = new
XWPFDocument(this.getClass().getResourceAsStream(styleTemplate));
int pos = document.getBodyElements().size()-1;
while (pos >= 0) {
IBodyElement element = document.getBodyElements().get(pos);
if (!EnumSet.of(BodyType.HEADER,
BodyType.FOOTER).contains(element.getPartType())) {
boolean success = document.removeBodyElement(pos);
logger.log(Level.INFO, "Removed body element "+pos+":
"+success);
}
pos--;
}
} catch (IOException e) {
logger.log(Level.WARNING, "Not able to load style template", e);
document = new XWPFDocument();
}
}
Now within my document there are several different sections that contain a
numbered lists. Each should be restart numbering from 1. This is the typical
way I'm doing this:
if (itemStem.getItems().size() > 0) {
p = document.createParagraph();
p.setStyle(ParaStyle.StemAndItemTitle.styleId);
run = p.createRun();
run.setText("Sub Items");
itemStem.getItems().stream().forEach(item -> {
XWPFParagraph p2 = document.createParagraph();
p2.setStyle(ParaStyle.NumberList.styleId);
XWPFRun run2 = p2.createRun();
run2.setText(item.getSubItemText());
});
p = document.createParagraph();
p.createRun();
}
So this correctly applies the Style that contains the number format, but there
is only a single sequence (1 ... to however many list items exit in the doc).
Heading 1
1. item a
2. item b
3. item c
Heading 2
4. item a
5. item d
6. item g
But what I want is:
Heading 1
1. item a
2. item b
3. item c
Heading 2
1. item a
2. item d
3. item g
So basically I'm trying to figure out how to use the style I have but restart
page numbering a various spots in the document. Can someone provide a sample of
how this would work?
Thanks,
Jim
