This documentation sometimes refers to a group of node classes as belonging to a “level” in a document, such as “block-level”, “inline-level” (also known as “inline”), or \u201crow-level\u201d nodes. These levels in a document are differentiated purely logically and are not explicitly expressed by inheritance or other Aspose.Words DOM means. The node level is used to describe the place in the document tree where the node would typically occur.<\/p>\n

In the previous article, we already talked about the relationship between nodes and the fact that not all nodes are allowed to be a child of any nodes. For example, Cell can only be a Row child, and a Row can only be a Table child, and so on. These relationships are also applicable for the logical division of nodes into levels in the document.<\/p>\n

The following sections describe the logical levels of nodes in Aspose.Words and the classes that belong to each level.<\/p>\n

Document and Section Logical Level<\/h2>\n

A Word document consists of one or more sections, represented by the Section<\/a> class and separated by section breaks. A section can define its own page size, margins, orientation, number of text columns, and headers and footers.<\/p>\n

Document<\/a> and Section<\/a> level nodes have the structure as shown in the following diagram.<\/p>\n\"document-and-section-level-aspose-words-java\"\n

A section contains the main text, as well as headers and footers for the first, even, and odd pages. These different \u201cflows\u201d of text are called stories<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In Aspose.Words, the Section<\/strong> node contains the Body<\/a> and HeaderFooter<\/a> story nodes. The Body<\/strong> object stores the main text. The HeaderFooter<\/strong> objects store the text for each header and footer. The text of any story consists of paragraphs and tables, respectively represented by the Paragraph<\/strong> and Table<\/strong> objects of the Block-level.<\/p>\n

Additionally, each Word document can contain a glossary, which is represented by the GlossaryDocument<\/a> node in Aspose.Words. A glossary document contains BuildingBlocks<\/a>, AutoText<\/a>, and AutoCorrect<\/a> entries.<\/p>\n

GlossaryDocument<\/strong> includes BuildingBlock<\/a> nodes representing different types of glossary document entries. Each BuildingBlock<\/strong> contains sections that can be inserted, removed, and copied into documents.<\/p>\n

Block Logical Level<\/h2>\n

Block-level nodes represent containers for content and content controls, and can occur in the document tree child nodes in the following nodes:<\/p>\n
