Aspose.Words - Format Table in Document
Note that before you apply table properties there must be at least one row present in the table. This means when building a table using DocumentBuilder, such formatting must be done after the first call to DocumentBuilder.InsertCell or after adding the first row to a table or when inserting nodes directly into the DOM.
Java
// The path to the documents directory.
String dataDir = Utils.getDataDir(AsposeFormatedTable.class);
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
Table table = builder.startTable();
builder.insertCell();
// Set the borders for the entire table.
table.setBorders(LineStyle.SINGLE, 2.0, Color.BLACK);
// Set the cell shading for this cell.
builder.getCellFormat().getShading().setBackgroundPatternColor(Color.DARK_GRAY);
builder.writeln("Cell #1");
builder.insertCell();
// Specify a different cell shading for the second cell.
builder.getCellFormat().getShading().setBackgroundPatternColor(Color.blue);
builder.writeln("Cell #2");
// End this row.
builder.endRow();
// Clear the cell formatting from previous operations.
builder.getCellFormat().clearFormatting();
// Create the second row.
builder.insertCell();
// Create larger borders for the first cell of this row. This will be different
// compared to the borders set for the table.
builder.getCellFormat().getBorders().getLeft().setLineWidth(4.0);
builder.getCellFormat().getBorders().getRight().setLineWidth(4.0);
builder.getCellFormat().getBorders().getTop().setLineWidth(4.0);
builder.getCellFormat().getBorders().getBottom().setLineWidth(4.0);
builder.writeln("Cell #3");
builder.insertCell();
// Clear the cell formatting from the previous cell.
builder.getCellFormat().clearFormatting();
builder.writeln("Cell #4");
doc.save(dataDir + "Aspose_styledTable.doc");
