Applying Fonts
...
To define a font and apply it to a paragraph, first create a Font object:
Code Block |
---|
|
WordApplication wwapp = new WordApplication();
Document doc = wwapp.Create();
Font paragraphFont = doc.CreateFont();
paragraphFont.FontName = "Times New Roman";
paragraphFont.FontSize = 10;
|
Add an empty paragraph to your document:
Code Block |
---|
|
//--- InsertParagraphAfter's style argument may be null. If it
//--- is null, the Normal style will be applied to the paragraph. The
//--- Normal style is the default style used by Microsoft Word.
Paragraph para = doc.InsertParagraphAfter(null);
|
To add text to the paragraph call one of the Element class's InsertTextAfter or InsertTextBefore methods. Pass the the text to add and your Font object to the method:
Code Block |
---|
|
//--- The following method takes a string and inserts it
//--- at the end of the paragraph. The method's second
//--- parameter specifies a Font object to apply to the
//--- text.
para.InsertTextAfter("This document was created with
OfficeWriter for Word.",
paragraphFont);
|
To get a copy of a built-in style's font, use the NamedStyle.Font property.
Code Block |
---|
|
NamedStyle heading1Style = doc.Styles[NamedStyle.BuiltIn.Heading1];
Font heading1Font = heading1Style.Font;
|
...
To return a document's Styles collection, use the property Document.Styles:
Code Block |
---|
|
WordApplication wwapp = new WordApplication();
Document doc = wwapp.Create();
NamedStyle heading1Style = doc.Styles[NamedStyle.BuiltIn.Heading1];
|
To apply a style to a paragraph, pass it to InsertParagraphAfter or InsertParagraphBefore when you add the paragraph to your document:
Code Block |
---|
|
Paragraph para =
doc.InsertParagraphAfter(doc.Styles[NamedStyle.BuiltIn.BodyText]);
|
...
Code Block |
---|
Document.CreateParagraphFormatting |
Returns a ParagraphFormatting object that represents the font used by the document's BodyText style.
Or
Code Block |
---|
NamedStyle.ParagraphFormatting |
Returns a copy of the specified named style's paragraph formatting properties.//--- Return the paragraph formatting of the BodyText style.
Code Block |
---|
|
WordApplication wwapp = new WordApplication();
Document doc = wwapp.Create();
ParagraphFormatting bodyTextFormatting = doc.CreateParagraphFormatting();
//--- Return a copy of the paragraph formatting of the BodyText2 Style.
WordApplication wwapp = new WordApplication();
Document doc = wwapp.Create();
ParagraphFormatting bodyText2Format =
doc.Styles[NamedStyle.BuiltIn.BodyText2].ParagraphFormatting;
|
To assign the ParagraphFormatting object that you created to a paragraph, pass it to Element.InsertParagraphAfter or Element.InsertParagraphBefore when you create a new paragraph.
Code Block |
---|
|
Paragraph para = doc.InsertParagraphAfter(doc.Styles[NamedStyle.BuiltIn.BodyText],
bodyTextFormatting);
|
...
Other paragraph formatting can be applied through the Table object or the TableFormatting object. To create a TableFormatting object, call Document.CreateTableFormatting:
Code Block |
---|
|
WordApplication wwapp = new WordApplication();
Document doc = wwapp.Create();
TableFormatting tableFormat = doc.CreateTableFormatting();
|
Next, set TableFormatting properties.
Code Block |
---|
|
tableFormat.DefaultShading.BackgroundColor = Color.Gray;
tableFormat.SetDefaultPadding(TableCell.Location.Top, 720);
|
To assign the TableFormatting object that you created to a table, pass it to Element.InsertTableAfter or Element.InsertTableBefore when you create a new table.
Code Block |
---|
|
Table tbl = doc.InsertTableAfter(3, 5, tableFormat);
