Hello,

In case we have a Word file containing styles with name containing semicolon (like “TM1;H1_TOC;toc1;H1-TOC”)
The call style.getStyleName() will return only “TM1”.

Is there a way to get the full name (with all values) ?

Hello,

Here is a Word document with an added style ‘NewStyle;New-Style;NouveauStyle;N-S’.
It appears in quick style bar as ‘New-Style’ but if you open the modification dialog on this style you can see the full name.

Your Word Java API seems to build 4 styles instead of one, with the name “NewStyle” for each of them.

Best regards,

Hi Jean,


Thanks for your inquiry. Microsoft Word displays a style with aliases as name plus all aliases comma separated. This means that this style is named NewStyle but also can be accessed by its aliases e.g. through doc.Styles[“N-S”] which will return the same Style object as doc.Styles[“NewStyle”]. I hope, this helps.

Best regards,

Hello,

We just tested this new feature. It works fine. Thanks.
But it seems there is no setAliases on Style object.

I forgot to say we also need the setAliases on the Style object. We should be able to get style aliases and restore them for one of our main project.

Is there a way to do it ?
This is quite urgent.
