I am working on writing some results of a database query into tables in Word. I have already done the code for accessing/creating objects from the results of my query and find myself a little stuck on writing these to a word template given to me. Its essentially a summary document in which i have to insert tables of the data i pulled from the db in the correct position in the document. So for instance, the document has say 4 section headers and under each header, there is some text after which i have to insert a table. One such header can be like:
School Records
Below you will find a table in which all school records will be listed:
So when i go to print my school record data object, i need a way to somehow insert my data in a table format right below the above line in the word document. Can anyone tell me how i can first find the correct position in the doc and then how you create a table in word from c#?
There is an article about how to insert images at specific position in Word document. Maybe it's useful for you to insert table either.
Add bookmark to the word template and then search for the bookmark and replace it with the image/file.

I'm trying to copy a table from an Excel book and paste it into a word document.
Currently it works fine with "range.Paste()", but I need to select the table in the word document I just pasted and do some formatting.
Is there a way to specify (select) a table that is just active, or just pasted?
I found the way. Maybe it can help others that face the same issue.
After pasting, you can retrieve the first table in the range and it will be the table you just pasted ;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Table ret2 = range.Tables[1];
Say a Word Table Of Contents has 8 lines in it, generated by a Table of Contents field in the normal way.
Is it possible, using C# and Microsoft Open XML, to determine how many lines (in this case 8) are in a Table of Contents field in an existing Word document?
I have not found any obvious properties that would give this information.
Thanks,

I'm extracting text out of an MS Word document (.docx). I'm using the DocX C# library for this purpose, which works in general quit well. No, I want to be able to extract tables. The main problem is, that if I'm looping through the paragraphs, I can get whether I'm in a table cell with:
ParentContainer == Cell
but I do not get any information about how many rows and cells. Second possibility which I see is that there is a list with tables as property of the document object. There I can see, how many rows / columns and so on - but I do not know where they are.
Does anyone has an idea how to deal with tables correctly? Any other solution would be appreciated as well :)
I figured it out. The trick is, to check whether each paragraph is followed by a table. This can be done by
...
if (paragraph.FollowingTable != null)
{
tableId = paragraph.FollowingTable.Index;
}
...
The FollowingTable.Index will give you an index to the table, with which you can get all details about the table in the Document.Tables list.
I am reading word document line by line in C# using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.
The doc has both paragraphs and tables. I want to check when the table occurs and get the entire contents of the table, else carry on with the line by line processing using doc.Paragraphs().
Any help to identify the table in word doc is greatly appreciated.
This seems to be a duplicate question. Please take a look here: "How to read MS Word paragraph and table content line by line". If you are not stuck to Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word give DocX a try and see this question: "Novacode Determine If Word Style Is A Table".
I have a table which is in ms word .i need to fill the rows with some data through c#.
I was thinking to fill through array or list or some other data sources.
But the challenge is how to select the first row of the table, there are n number of tables is in my word file.
What type of libary are you using ? Try DocX https://docx.codeplex.com/.
It has great table integration. You can use a template file or a file as a template and create a new table. That way you dont need to worry about table indexin. Or you can use text replacement and fill the tables in the template file whit placeholders.
