DOCX output structure

Document structure

In Word, you can divide the document in sections which can have separate formatting, like dimension, margins, headers and footers etc.

In the following cases, support for Word sections is provided:

•	A StoryTeller page with Occurrence set to Once or more is mapped to a Word section with one header and footer definition in the output for all Word pages rendered from this StoryTeller page definition

•	A StoryTeller page with Occurrence set to Exact count = 1, followed by a page with Occurrence set to Repeatable, is mapped to one Word section with:

– One layout for the first page with a specific header.

– One layout for the repeatable pages with a specific header.

This applies if the same Story is used in both page definitions.

Page structure

A Word page or a Word section consists of

•	One rectangular body area with page margins, defining a page frame.

•	Optionally a header and/or footer, which can contain objects covering the whole page

In StoryTeller, you can define several Story frames on a page. Because Word only supports one page frame, only one of the Story frames can be mapped as the Word body area.

The DOCX driver by default selects the first Story frame listed in the Page object list to be mapped to the Word body area.

Note:

If a StoryTeller page does not contain any Story frame, the page is mapped to a Word page with a header where the page content is rendered.
