API to point to next and previous paragraph from the current paragraph
It would be very useful for processing large document to have the ability to access previous and next paragraph from any paragraph object.
Thanks

Finally had a chance to test it. Thank you again. Just in case someone runs into this thread, this is how I do it.
Word.run(function (context) {
var range = context.document.getSelection();
context.load(range.paragraphs);
return context.sync()
.then(function () {
var para = range.paragraphs.items[0];
for (var i = 0; i < totalBefore; i++) {
para = para.getPrevious();
loadedParagraphs.splice(0, 0, para);
}para = range.paragraphs.items[0];
for (var i = 0; i < totalAfter; i++) {
para = para.getNext();
loadedParagraphs.push(para);
}loadedParagraphs.forEach(function (p) {
context.load(p);
});loadedParagraphs.splice(totalBefore, 0, range.paragraphs.items[0]);
})
.then(context.sync)
.then(processParagraphs)
.then(context.sync)
