A repeat block is a fragment in the template document that will be repeated for each row in a data source. In the template document, repeat blocks are defined by Word bookmarks that contain merge fields. You can call SetRepeatBlock several times for a single instance of WordTemplate. The repeat block specified by the parameter bookmark must exist in the template. All merge fields in the repeat block will bind to the specified data source. Not all Word features can be included in a repeat block: | Web only |
