Docx4j create unordered / bullet list

Question

I would like to create an unordered list with bullets using docx4j in a Word document. I found the following code that should do this work. But all I am trying to do is a generated list - this is a numbered list! I am using Word 2010, the German version and docx4j-2.8.1.

wordMLPackage = WordprocessingMLPackage.createPackage(); ObjectFactory factory = new org.docx4j.wml.ObjectFactory(); P p = factory.createP(); org.docx4j.wml.Text t = factory.createText(); t.setValue(text); org.docx4j.wml.R run = factory.createR(); run.getContent().add(t); p.getContent().add(run); org.docx4j.wml.PPr ppr = factory.createPPr(); p.setPPr(ppr); // Create and add <w:numPr> NumPr numPr = factory.createPPrBaseNumPr(); ppr.setNumPr(numPr); // The <w:ilvl> element Ilvl ilvlElement = factory.createPPrBaseNumPrIlvl(); numPr.setIlvl(ilvlElement); ilvlElement.setVal(BigInteger.valueOf(0)); // The <w:numId> element NumId numIdElement = factory.createPPrBaseNumPrNumId(); numPr.setNumId(numIdElement); numIdElement.setVal(BigInteger.valueOf(1)); wordMLPackage.getMainDocumentPart().addObject(p); 

Can someone help me create a real disordered, collapsed list ?!

Answer 1

The code you posted says "Use list number 1, level 0".

Obviously, this list is a numbered list.

Look in your part of the numbering definition for a bulleted list and use it.

If you do not have a bulleted list, you need to add it. You can download the docx sample to the docx4j demo so that it creates relevant content for you. Or see ListHelper for an example of how this can be done.

Hope this helps you.
