Ive been searching and looking at articles a few days on how to force bullet points on text, still not sure how. Created a simple bunch of sentences, then went back and added bullets to the entire bunch, saved, opened in the tool.
Put into a method in c# MVC, run the code but the list is NUMBER based, not bullet based. Followed an article, to where ListParagraph is defined, an example shows the Level val = 0, NumID = 1, so I changed all of them to this, ran, could see the numbers reset but they came out numbers again.
Is there a simple solution for using the bullet in C# openxml Reflected Code in a method? Right now the only obvious way is to copy that symbol and add it in as a string literal
No help no info nothing???
Again, take Word. New document. Make a title like “ITEMS”. next line type Item1 then Item2 then Item3.. etc then go back and select all the Items then click on the bullets/numbering, select a bullet, save. go into the power tool and take that block of C# code, put into an MVC controller that generates a word doc.
It comes out as NUMBERS.
why. No solution found changes it, have tried far more than Ive listed. over a full day wasted just trying ways to make the bullet symbols appear.
This abject FAILURE of the OpenXML Word doc system should be written up with some kind of solution provided.
Like buying batteries for something. Brand new, they dont work because you have to now open the new batteries, scrape out the carbon then re-heat the carbon with some other material then spread it back into the battery, then seal and weld them back up. Not too much to ask at all. And nobody knows just how to do this process, so you and your team of scientists spend months of trial and error to accomplish this.
Just like using bullet points here. You cant use them because of some lame, unknown defect that hasnt been documented.
I was able to add properties to make bullets, but now? each line goes all the way to the left margin when its numbering the text is all set to the new margin thats indented. with bullets the bullets are on the left edge, only the first line is indented, the rest go out to the left margin
