My main use of docx4j is as a document generator.

Documents typically have:

Heading 1

Clause i

Clause ii

Sub-heading a

Clause i...

Heading 2

Sub-heading a

Clause I

Table

Heading 3...etc.

Hi all,

How can i change footnotes numbering?

Hi,

I'm trying to merge two docx documents in one.
I've found a lot of forums posts about this in various forums, but none seemed to have been dealing with my problem :
Some of my documents have headers and/or footers while others don't.
