How to format the constructed document?

[rogersbParticipant]

Using DocumentBuilder01 Example, I was able to correctly get the results where my report document was opened and the first and last parts were copied then built into a new document.

Very happy with that.

But NOW?? comes the formatting. Im getting 2 items, a table thats 1100px wide and a bar chart thats 900px wide.

do I need to use XElement to modify the size of the items? Im looking at the open xml sdk productivity tool 2.5 from the generated item. how do I resize the items

XElement tbl = xDoc.Root.Element(W.body).Elements(W.tbl).FirstOrDefault();

tbl.modifyDescendants(Outline)= new A.Outline(){ Width = 9525, CapType = A.LineCapValues.Flat, CompoundLineType = A.CompoundLineValues.Single, Alignment = A.PenAlignmentValues.Center };

}`

just a guess at how the part-Outline would be modified

I am not completely clear on what the issue is with your markup. Are you attempting to change the markup for existing items where the size is not what you desire?

In any case, you must not mix using XElement (LINQ to XML) with the strongly typed OM for the Open-Xml-Sdk.

The best way to research the markup that you need to change is by creating two copies of a document, changing one slightly, and then using the Open-Xml-Sdk Productivity Tool to compare the two, highlight the differences.
