Ruler

The ruler helps you set specific margins, tab stops, and indentations within a document to ensure consistent formatting in the DOCX Editor.

The following example illustrates how to enable the ruler in the DOCX Editor.

import { DocumentEditor, Editor } from '@syncfusion/ej2-documenteditor';

//Initialize Document Editor component.
let documenteditor: DocumentEditor = new DocumentEditor({
    isReadOnly: false, height: '370px', documentEditorSettings: {showRuler: true}, serviceUrl: 'https://document.syncfusion.com/web-services/docx-editor/api/documenteditor/'
});

//Enable all built in modules.
documenteditor.enableAllModules();

document.getElementById('container_ruler_button').addEventListener('click', 
function () {
    documenteditor.documentEditorSettings.showRuler = !documenteditor.documentEditorSettings.showRuler;
});

//Render Document Editor component.
documenteditor.appendTo('#DocumentEditor');

The heading navigation pane allows users to quickly navigate documents by heading, making it easier to move through the document.

The following example demonstrates how to enable the heading navigation pane in the DOCX Editor.

let container: DocumentEditorContainer = new DocumentEditorContainer({ enableToolbar: true,height: '590px',
// Enable heading navigation pane in document editor
  documentEditorSettings: {
    showNavigationPane: true,
  }
});
DocumentEditorContainer.Inject(Toolbar);
container.serviceUrl = 'https://document.syncfusion.com/web-services/docx-editor/api/documenteditor/';
container.appendTo('#container');

The Web API hosted link https://document.syncfusion.com/web-services/docx-editor/api/documenteditor/ utilized in the DOCX Editor’s serviceUrl property is intended solely for demonstration and evaluation purposes. For production deployment, please host your own web service with your required server configurations. You can refer and reuse the GitHub Web Service example or Docker image for hosting your own web service and use for the serviceUrl property.
