Character style 'strong' for TextRun

I have a paragraph block which has two TextRuns in it, for example:

new Paragraph ({
    children: [
        new TextRun({
            text: "First Word",
            bold: true
        }),
        new TextRun(" - This text was created using heading 3 paragraph style. It has a slight left indentation for lines except the first one.")
    ]
})

Currently I am using the bold parameter but I want to use the “strong” character style. This is because styles can be manipulated from Design > Quick Parts > Field. Any way to do this?

That’s difficult to implement because last element of the array may not be the last element of the page. On every page, headers should reflect word heading of that particular page only. If you download and check the doc file I previously posted you’ll notice that the headers are dynamic. They are different for every page and only correspond to words in that particular page.

Word provides this feature. To place dynamic components like these in word, I can simply go to Design > Quick Parts > Field >> StyleRef > strong. This will automatically select the first strong styled phrase of the page (there’s another option to select last strong styled phrase as well).

However, StyleRef requires paragraph or header styles. But bold is not a style and hence is not selectable. We need a strong style, which is the reason for this thread.

In the word file I posted, you’ll find that the paragraph style is Normal but the first word has character style strong. This is why I am able to create the dynamic headers.

With docx plugin, I am not able to set character style to strong. I created a docx file using version 5.5.0 and the following code for the first word from here:

new TextRun({
    text: 'word1',
    style: "strong"
})

Once the doc is created, If i select the word and check the style, it still shows Normal not Strong. If I can set character style to Strong that would solve first part of the problem for now at least.
