Modify Row Formatting
In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process to change the formatting of a table row using Aspose.Words for .NET. We’ll explain the bundled C# source code and provide you with a comprehensive guide to help you understand and implement this feature in your own projects. At the end of this tutorial, you will know how to change borders, height and line break of a table row in your Word documents using Aspose.Words for .NET.
Step 1: Define the document directory
First, you need to set the path to your documents directory. This is where your Word document is located. Replace “YOUR DOCUMENTS DIRECTORY” with the appropriate path.
string dataDir = "YOUR DOCUMENTS DIRECTORY";
Step 2: Load existing document
Next, you need to load the existing Word document into an instance of the Document
class.
Document doc = new Document(dataDir + "Tables.docx");
Step 3: Access the line to modify
To change the formatting of a table row, we need to navigate to the specific row in the table. We use the GetChild()
and FirstRow
methods to get the reference to the first row of the table.
Table table = (Table)doc.GetChild(NodeType.Table, 0, true);
Row firstRow = table.FirstRow;
Step 4: Change row formatting
Now we can change the row formatting using the properties of the RowFormat
class. For example, we can remove line borders, set auto height and allow line break.
firstRow.RowFormat.Borders.LineStyle = LineStyle.None;
firstRow.RowFormat.HeightRule = HeightRule.Auto;
firstRow.RowFormat.AllowBreakAcrossPages = true;
Sample source code for Modify Row Formatting using Aspose.Words for .NET
// Path to your document directory
string dataDir = "YOUR DOCUMENT DIRECTORY";
Document doc = new Document(dataDir + "Tables.docx");
Table table = (Table) doc.GetChild(NodeType.Table, 0, true);
// Retrieve the first row in the table.
Row firstRow = table.FirstRow;
firstRow.RowFormat.Borders.LineStyle = LineStyle.None;
firstRow.RowFormat.HeightRule = HeightRule.Auto;
firstRow.RowFormat.AllowBreakAcrossPages = true;
