Font Settings
Configuring Font Settings
Aspose.Cells provides a class, Workbook that represents a Microsoft Excel file. The Workbook class contains a Worksheets collection that allows access to each worksheet in an Excel file. A worksheet is represented by the Worksheet class. The Worksheet class provides a Cells collection. Each item in the Cells collection represents an object of the Cell class.
Aspose.Cells provides the Cell class' GetStyle and SetStyle methods which are used to get and set a cell’s formatting style. The Style class provides properties for configuring font settings.
Setting Font Name
Developers can apply any font to text inside a cell by using the Style.Font object’s Name property.

// The path to the documents directory. | |
string dataDir = RunExamples.GetDataDir(System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType); | |
// Create directory if it is not already present. | |
bool IsExists = System.IO.Directory.Exists(dataDir); | |
if (!IsExists) | |
System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(dataDir); | |
// Instantiating a Workbook object | |
Workbook workbook = new Workbook(); | |
// Adding a new worksheet to the Excel object | |
int i = workbook.Worksheets.Add(); | |
// Obtaining the reference of the newly added worksheet by passing its sheet index | |
Worksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets[i]; | |
// Accessing the "A1" cell from the worksheet | |
Aspose.Cells.Cell cell = worksheet.Cells["A1"]; | |
// Adding some value to the "A1" cell | |
cell.PutValue("Hello Aspose!"); | |
// Obtaining the style of the cell | |
Style style = cell.GetStyle(); | |
// Setting the font name to "Times New Roman" | |
style.Font.Name = "Times New Roman"; | |
// Applying the style to the cell | |
cell.SetStyle(style); | |
// Saving the Excel file | |
workbook.Save(dataDir + "book1.out.xls", SaveFormat.Excel97To2003); |
Setting Font Style to Bold
Developers can make text bold by setting the Style.Font object’s IsBold property to true.
