Get Font Line Spacing

Introduction

Aspose.Words for .NET is a powerful library that allows you to create, manipulate, and convert Word documents programmatically. One common task you might need to perform is retrieving the line spacing of a specific font in a document. In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the process step-by-step, ensuring that you can easily get font line spacing using Aspose.Words for .NET.

Prerequisites

Before we dive into the code, make sure you have the following prerequisites in place:

  1. Aspose.Words for .NET Library: Download and install the latest version from here.
  2. Development Environment: Ensure you have an IDE like Visual Studio set up.
  3. Basic Knowledge of C#: This tutorial assumes you have a basic understanding of C# programming.

Import Namespaces

First, you need to import the necessary namespaces in your C# project. These namespaces will allow you to access the Aspose.Words functionalities.

using System;
using Aspose.Words;
using Aspose.Words.Fonts;

Let’s break down the process of getting font line spacing into simple, manageable steps.

Step 1: Create a New Document

The first step is to create a new Word document instance using Aspose.Words for .NET.

Document doc = new Document();

Step 2: Initialize DocumentBuilder

Next, we need to initialize the DocumentBuilder object. This object will help us to construct and manipulate the document content.

DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

Step 3: Set the Font Properties

Now, we set the font properties for the text that we want to insert. For this example, we will use the “Calibri” font.

builder.Font.Name = "Calibri";

Step 4: Write Text to the Document

Using the DocumentBuilder object, write some text into the document. This text will use the font properties we set in the previous step.

builder.Writeln("Sample Text");

Step 5: Retrieve the Font Object

To get the line spacing, we need to access the font object of the text we just added. This can be done by navigating through the document structure to the first paragraph run.

Font font = builder.Document.FirstSection.Body.FirstParagraph.Runs[0].Font;

Step 6: Get the Line Spacing

Finally, we retrieve the line spacing from the font object and print it to the console.

Console.WriteLine($"lineSpacing = {font.LineSpacing}");

Conclusion

And there you have it! Retrieving the font line spacing using Aspose.Words for .NET is straightforward when you break it down into these simple steps. Whether you are creating a new document or working with an existing one, Aspose.Words provides all the tools you need to manage font properties efficiently.
