| Insert Inline Image | After selecting this option, exceeding the height and width of a page can cause a new Google Doc page to be appended. |

Text |
Inserting a newline character implicitly creates a paragraph at that index. The paragraph style of the new paragraph will be copied from the paragraph at the current insertion index, including lists and bullets. Text styles for inserted text are determined automatically, generally preserving the styling of neighboring text. Generally, the text style for the inserted text matches the text immediately before the insertion index. Some control characters (U+0000-U+0008, U+000C-U+001F) and characters from the Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane Private Use Area (U+E000-U+F8FF) are stripped out of the inserted text. |
| Segment ID |
Use the Read Document card to obtain the Segment ID value. Usage:
For the document body use index values in the startIndex and endIndex properties. They represent the index of the first character in the line and the last character respectively. The start and end indexes can be retrieved using the Read Document card. For the specific segment(header, footer, footnotes) use the endIndex as the length of the line. So the starting index always will be 0. |
| Index |
For the document body use index values in the Start Index and End Index properties. They represent the index of the first character in the line and the last character respectively. The Start and End indexes can be retrieved using the Read Document card. For the specific segment (header, footer, footnotes) use the End Index as the length of the line. The starting index is always 0. Usage:

| Font Weight |
The font weight makes up just one component of the rendered font weight. The rendered weight is determined by a combination of the weight and the text style's resolved bold value, after accounting for inheritance.
The Font Weight should be passed with the Font Family value. An error will be thrown if only one value is passed. |
| Image Height | If height isn't specified, then a default size of the image is calculated based on its resolution. If one dimension is specified, then the other dimension is calculated to preserve the aspect ratio of the image. If both width and height are specified, the image is scaled to fit within the provided dimensions while maintaining its aspect ratio. |
| Image Width | If width isn't specified, then a default size of the image is calculated based on its resolution. If one dimension is specified, then the other dimension is calculated to preserve the aspect ratio of the image. If both width and height are specified, the image is scaled to fit within the provided dimensions while maintaining its aspect ratio. |
