News of docx4j

Hello,

MainDocumentPart documentPart = wordMLPackage.getMainDocumentPart();

Map<String,String > styles = documentPart.getStylesInUse();
for (String styleKey : styles.keySet()) {
String value = styles.get(styleKey);

System.out.println("key <" + styleKey + "> value <" + value + ">");
}
}

I get values as below:

key <berschrift1> value <berschrift1> ...

Hi There,

I can't work out how to position the text in a header or footer - left, centre, right.
