Allow Cell Spacing

In this tutorial, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of allowing cell spacing in tables using Aspose.Words for .NET. We will explain the C# source code that accomplishes this task and provide a comprehensive guide to help you understand and implement it in your own projects. By the end of this tutorial, you will have a clear understanding of how to manipulate table formatting in your Word documents using Aspose.Words for .NET.

Step 1: Set the Document Directory

First, you need to set the path to your document directory. This is the location where your Word document is stored. Replace “YOUR DOCUMENT DIRECTORY” with the appropriate path.

string dataDir = "YOUR DOCUMENT DIRECTORY";

Step 2: Load the Document

Next, you need to load the Word document into an instance of the Document class.

Document doc = new Document(dataDir + "Tables.docx");

Step 3: Access the Table

To allow cell spacing, we need to access the table within the document. The Table class represents a table in Aspose.Words.

Table table = (Table)doc.GetChild(NodeType.Table, 0, true);

Step 4: Enable Cell Spacing

Now, we can enable cell spacing by setting the AllowCellSpacing property of the table to true. This property determines whether the table can have cell spacing.

table.AllowCellSpacing = true;

Step 5: Set Cell Spacing

To specify the amount of space between cells, we use the CellSpacing property of the table. In this example, we set the cell spacing to 2 points.

table. CellSpacing = 2;

Step 6: Save the Modified Document

Finally, we save the modified document to a file. You can choose a suitable name and location for the output document.

doc.Save(dataDir + "WorkingWithTableStylesAndFormatting.AllowCellSpacing.docx");

Congratulations! You have successfully allowed cell spacing in tables using Aspose.Words for .NET.

Sample source code for Allow Cell Spacing using Aspose.Words for .NET

	table.AllowCellSpacing = true;
	table.CellSpacing = 2;
	doc.Save(dataDir + "WorkingWithTableStylesAndFormatting.AllowCellSpacing.docx");
