Aspose.Note for Java provides a powerful solution for creating and manipulating OneNote documents programmatically. In this tutorial, we will explore how to compose tables in OneNote using Aspose.Note for Java. Follow the step-by-step guide below to enhance your document creation process.

Prerequisites

Before diving into the tutorial, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

• Basic knowledge of Java programming.
• Aspose.Note for Java library installed. You can download it from here.
• An integrated development environment (IDE) set up for Java development.

Import Packages

Make sure to import the necessary packages to kickstart your project. Add the following import statements to your Java class:

import com.aspose.note.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.file.Paths;
import java.util.stream.StreamSupport;

Step 1: Set Document Directory

String dataDir = "Your Document Directory";

Ensure to replace “Your Document Directory” with the actual path where you want to save your OneNote document.

Step 2: Compose Header

RichText headerText = new RichText().append("Super contest for suppliers.");
headerText.setParagraphStyle(new ParagraphStyle().setFontSize(18).setBold(true));
headerText.setAlignment(HorizontalAlignment.Center);

Create an eye-catching header for your document. Adjust the font size, boldness, and alignment as needed.

Step 3: Create Page and Outline

Page page = new Page();
Outline outline = page.appendChildLast(new Outline());
outline.setHorizontalOffset(50);
outline.appendChildLast(new OutlineElement()).appendChildLast(headerText);

Set up a new page and outline, then add the previously created header to the outline.

Step 4: Add Summary Text

RichText bodyTextHeader = outline.appendChildLast(new OutlineElement()).appendChildLast(new RichText());
bodyTextHeader.setParagraphStyle(ParagraphStyle.getDefault());
bodyTextHeader.append("This is the final ranking of proposals got from our suppliers.");

Include a brief summary text to provide context for the table.

Step 5: Compose Table

Table ranking = outline.appendChildLast(new OutlineElement()).appendChildLast(new Table());
// Remaining steps are involved in setting up the table structure, header row, and adding empty rows.
// Refer to the provided code for detailed implementation.

Compose the table structure and populate it with relevant information. The provided code includes adding columns, header row, empty rows, and template content for the ‘Contacts’ column.

Step 6: Save Document

Document d = new Document();
d.appendChildLast(page);
d.save(Paths.get(dataDir, "ComposeTable_out.one").toString());

Save your composed document with a specified filename and directory path.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully composed a table in OneNote using Aspose.Note for Java. This tutorial demonstrated the step-by-step process, empowering you to enhance your document creation capabilities programmatically.
