Format Table in Document in NPOI

What is this page about?

This page explains how to format tables using NPOI.

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.

C#

  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.CellFormat.Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = Color.DarkGray;
  builder.Writeln("Cell #1");
  builder.InsertCell();

  // Specify a different cell shading for the second cell.
  builder.CellFormat.Shading.BackgroundPatternColor=Color.Blue;
  builder.Writeln("Cell #2");

  // End this row.
  builder.EndRow();

  // Clear the cell formatting from previous operations.
  builder.CellFormat.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.CellFormat.Borders.Left.LineWidth=4.0;
  builder.CellFormat.Borders.Right.LineWidth=4.0;
  builder.CellFormat.Borders.Top.LineWidth=4.0;
  builder.CellFormat.Borders.Bottom.LineWidth=4.0;
  builder.Writeln("Cell #3");
  builder.InsertCell();

  // Clear the cell formatting from the previous cell.
  builder.CellFormat.ClearFormatting();
  builder.Writeln("Cell #4");
  doc.Save("Format Table in Document.doc");

NPOI HWPF XWPF - Format Table in Document

C#

  // Create a new document from scratch
  XWPFDocument doc = new XWPFDocument();
  XWPFTable table = doc.CreateTable(3, 3);
  table.GetRow(1).GetCell(1).SetText("EXAMPLE OF TABLE");
  XWPFTableCell c1 = table.GetRow(0).GetCell(0);
  XWPFParagraph p1 = c1.AddParagraph();   //don't use doc.CreateParagraph
  XWPFRun r1 = p1.CreateRun();
  r1.SetText("This is test table contents");
  r1.IsBold=true;
  r1.FontFamily = "Courier";
  r1.SetUnderline(UnderlinePatterns.DotDotDash);
  r1.SetTextPosition(100);
  c1.SetColor("FF0000");
  table.GetRow(2).GetCell(2).SetText("only text");
  FileStream out1 = new FileStream("data/Format Table in Document.docx", FileMode.Create);
  doc.Write(out1);
  out1.Close();
