{param:maxRows}Specifies the maximum number of repetitions to write to the file. If Next fields are enabled (see [EnableNEXTFields|WordTemplate.EnableNEXTFields]), then the number of rows imported from the data source is {{maxRows\*(numberOfNextFields\+1)}}. If Next fields are not enabled the number of rows imported is equal to the number of repetitions written out. To write the maximum rows available, use the constant [WordTemplate.ALL\_ROWS|WordTemplate.ALL_ROWS].

{remarks}
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|WordTemplate.SetRepeatBlock] several times for a single instance of [WordTemplate]. The repeat block specified by the parameter {{bookmark}} must exist in the template.
{note}This is an extension method for the WordTemplate object to be used for binding SharePoint data to applications from within SharePoint.  To use this method, you must add a reference to SoftArtisans.OfficeWriter.WordWriter.SharePointIntegration.dll{note}
