Prerequisites

Before diving into the tutorial, make sure you have the following prerequisites in place:

• Java Development Environment: Ensure that you have Java installed on your system.
• Aspose.Note for Java: Download and install the Aspose.Note for Java library from here.

Import Packages

Begin by importing the necessary packages into your Java project. These packages are essential for utilizing the features of Aspose.Note for Java.

import com.aspose.note.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.io.IOException

Step 1: Create OneNote Document

import com.aspose.note.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.io.IOException;
// The path to the documents directory.
String dataDir = "Your Document Directory";
Document doc = new Document();
// ... (Other import statements)
// ... (Rest of the code)

Step 2: Initialize Document, Page, and Table

// Initialize Page class object
Page page = new Page();
// Initialize TableRow class object
TableRow row1 = new TableRow();
// Initialize TableCell class objects
TableCell cell11 = new TableCell();
TableCell cell12 = new TableCell();
TableCell cell13 = new TableCell();
// ... (Code for appending outline elements in the table cell)
// Append table cells to rows
row1.appendChildLast(cell11);
row1.appendChildLast(cell12);
row1.appendChildLast(cell13);
// ... (Code for initializing and appending other rows)
// Initialize Table class object and set column widths
Table table = new Table();
table.setBordersVisible(true);
// ... (Code for adding columns)
// Append table rows to table
table.appendChildLast(row1);
table.appendChildLast(row2);
// ... (Code for adding table to outline element node)

Step 3: Initialize Outline and OutlineElement

// Initialize Outline object
Outline outline = new Outline();
// Initialize OutlineElement object
OutlineElement outlineElem = new OutlineElement();
// ... (Code for adding table to outline element node)
// Add outline element to outline
outline.appendChildLast(outlineElem);
// Add outline to page node
page.appendChildLast(outline);
// Add page to document node
doc.appendChildLast(page);
dataDir = dataDir + "InsertTable_out.one";
doc.save(dataDir);

Step 4: Get OutlineElement With Text

public static OutlineElement GetOutlineElementWithText(String text)
{
    OutlineElement outlineElem = new OutlineElement();
    ParagraphStyle textStyle = new ParagraphStyle()
                                        .setFontColor(Color.BLACK)
                                        .setFontName("Arial")
                                        .setFontSize(10);
    RichText richText = new RichText().append(text);
    richText.setParagraphStyle(textStyle);
    outlineElem.appendChildLast(richText);
    return outlineElem;
} 

Conclusion

Congratulations! You’ve successfully learned how to insert tables into OneNote documents using Aspose.Note for Java. This powerful library provides extensive functionality, allowing you to create dynamic and engaging content programmatically.
