Creating Tables in Application-Level Add-Ins
To add a simple table to a document
Use the Add(Range, Int32, Int32, Object%, Object%) method to add a table consisting of three rows and four columns at the beginning of the document.
The following code example adds a table to the active document. To use this example, run it from the ThisAddIn class in your project.
|
Dim tableLocation As Word.Range = Me.Application.ActiveDocument.Range(Start:=0, End:=0)
Me.Application.ActiveDocument.Tables.Add(Range:=tableLocation, NumRows:=3, NumColumns:=4)
|
|
object start = 0;
object end = 0;
Word.Range tableLocation =
this.Application.ActiveDocument.Range(ref start, ref end);
this.Application.ActiveDocument.Tables.Add(
tableLocation, 3, 4, ref missing, ref missing);
|
When you create a table, it is automatically added to the Tables collection of the Document. You can then refer to the table by its item number by using the Item(Int32) property, as shown in the following code.
To refer to a table by item number
Use the Item(Int32) property and supply the item number of the table that you want to refer to.
The following code example uses the active document. To use this example, run it from the ThisAddIn class in your project.
|
Dim newTable As Word.Table = Me.Application.ActiveDocument.Tables.Item(1)
|
|
Word.Table newTable = this.Application.ActiveDocument.Tables[1];
|
Each Table object also has a Range()()() property that enables you to set formatting attributes.
To apply a style to a table
Use the Style()()() property to apply one of the Word built-in styles to a table.
The following code example uses the active document. To use this example, run it from the ThisAddIn class in your project.
|
Me.Application.ActiveDocument.Tables.Item(1).Range.Font.Size = 8
Me.Application.ActiveDocument.Tables.Item(1).Style = "Table Grid 8"
|
|
object styleName = "Table Grid 8";
this.Application.ActiveDocument.Tables[1].Range.Font.Size = 8;
this.Application.ActiveDocument.Tables[1].set_Style(ref styleName);
