Remarks

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.

If you pass an empty DataSet to SetRepeatBlock, WordWriter will not include the specified repeat block in the generated Word file.

Not all Word features can be included in a repeat block:
