Examples

// Link to full sample: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OfficeDev/office-js-snippets/prod/samples/word/20-lists/manage-list-styles.yaml

// Gets the properties of the specified style.
await Word.run(async (context) => {
  const styleName = $("#style-name-to-use").val() as string;
  if (styleName == "") {
    console.warn("Enter a style name to get properties.");

  style.load("type");
  await context.sync();

  if (style.isNullObject || style.type != Word.StyleType.list) {
    console.warn(`There's no existing style with the name '${styleName}'. Or this isn't a list style.`);
  } else {
    // Load objects to log properties and their values in the console.
    style.load();
    style.listTemplate.load();
    await context.sync();

    console.log(`Properties of the '${styleName}' style:`, style);

  }
});

Properties

alignment

Specifies the horizontal alignment of the list level. The value can be 'Left', 'Centered', or 'Right'.

context

The request context associated with the object. This connects the add-in's process to the Office host application's process.

font

Gets a Font object that represents the character formatting of the specified object.

linkedStyle

Specifies the name of the style that's linked to the specified list level object.

numberFormat

Specifies the number format for the specified list level.

numberPosition

Specifies the position (in points) of the number or bullet for the specified list level object.

numberStyle

Specifies the number style for the list level object.

resetOnHigher

Specifies the list level that must appear before the specified list level restarts numbering at 1.

startAt

Specifies the starting number for the specified list level object.

tabPosition

Specifies the tab position for the specified list level object.

textPosition

Specifies the position (in points) for the second line of wrapping text for the specified list level object.

trailingCharacter

Specifies the character inserted after the number for the specified list level.

Methods

load(options)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNames)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNamesAndPaths)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

set(properties, options)

Sets multiple properties of an object at the same time. You can pass either a plain object with the appropriate properties, or another API object of the same type.

set(properties)

Sets multiple properties on the object at the same time, based on an existing loaded object.

toJSON()

Overrides the JavaScript toJSON() method in order to provide more useful output when an API object is passed to JSON.stringify(). (JSON.stringify, in turn, calls the toJSON method of the object that's passed to it.) Whereas the original Word.ListLevel object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as Word.Interfaces.ListLevelData) that contains shallow copies of any loaded child properties from the original object.

track()

Track the object for automatic adjustment based on surrounding changes in the document. This call is a shorthand for context.trackedObjects.add(thisObject). If you're using this object across .sync calls and outside the sequential execution of a ".run" batch, and get an "InvalidObjectPath" error when setting a property or invoking a method on the object, you need to add the object to the tracked object collection when the object was first created. If this object is part of a collection, you should also track the parent collection.

untrack()

Release the memory associated with this object, if it has previously been tracked. This call is shorthand for context.trackedObjects.remove(thisObject). Having many tracked objects slows down the host application, so please remember to free any objects you add, once you're done using them. You'll need to call context.sync() before the memory release takes effect.

Parameters

options
Word.Interfaces.ListLevelLoadOptions

Provides options for which properties of the object to load.

Returns

load(propertyNames)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNames?: string | string[]): Word.ListLevel;

Parameters

propertyNames

string | string[]

A comma-delimited string or an array of strings that specify the properties to load.

Returns

options
OfficeExtension.UpdateOptions

Provides an option to suppress errors if the properties object tries to set any read-only properties.

Returns

void

set(properties)

Sets multiple properties on the object at the same time, based on an existing loaded object.

Overrides the JavaScript toJSON() method in order to provide more useful output when an API object is passed to JSON.stringify().

Returns

track()

Track the object for automatic adjustment based on surrounding changes in the document. This call is a shorthand for context.trackedObjects.add(thisObject). If you're using this object across .sync calls and outside the sequential execution of a ".run" batch, and get an "InvalidObjectPath" error when setting a property or invoking a method on the object, you need to add the object to the tracked object collection when the object was first created. If this object is part of a collection, you should also track the parent collection.

track(): Word.ListLevel;

Returns

untrack()

Release the memory associated with this object, if it has previously been tracked. This call is shorthand for context.trackedObjects.remove(thisObject). Having many tracked objects slows down the host application, so please remember to free any objects you add, once you're done using them. You'll need to call context.sync() before the memory release takes effect.
