Word Processing

The text model in the illustration below shows that working with text starts with the method getText() at the XTextDocument interface of the document model. It returns a com.sun.star.text.Text service that handles text in Apache OpenOffice.

The Text service has two mandatory interfaces and no properties:

Service com.sun.star.text.Text (mandatory interfaces only)

The XText is used to edit a text, and XEnumerationAccess is used to iterate over text. The following sections discuss these aspects of the Text service.
