  • in reply to: Word changing table cell width on load #4178

    Thanks again Eric. I was able to get it to do what I needed by changing the call to GetTableProperties, passing in the settings. I added a setting to respect the column widths (since I know they are going to be valid – 50% each) and if set then the GetTableProperties adds a w:tblLayout type="fixed" element to the TableProperties element. In playing around with it, I found that Word added that element if I went into the table options and de-selected the “Automatically resize to fit contents” option.

    A bit of a hack, but it works for me. I was initially thinking that I could do it in the GetTableGrid method if the width properties had the important declaration, but it appears to be too late in the game…

    Thanks again.

    OK thanks Eric. I will continue to do what I have been doing, which is using a docx file as a template that only has a header with the paging control in it and merging it with the output generated by the HtmlToWmlConverter.

    Eric:

    Here is an example of what is being generated by the HtmlToWmlConverter:

    <w:abstractNum w:abstractNumId="1">
        <w:nsid w:val="E4F23709"/>
        <w:multiLevelType w:val="multilevel"/>
        <w:tmpl w:val="02BEA0DA"/>
        <w:lvl w:ilvl="0">
          <w:start w:val="1"/>
          <w:numFmt w:val="bullet"/>
          <w:lvlText w:val=""/>
          <w:lvlJc w:val="left"/>
          <w:pPr>
            <w:tabs>
              <w:tab w:val="num" w:pos="720"/>
            </w:tabs>
            <w:ind w:left="720" w:hanging="360"/>
          </w:pPr>
          <w:rPr>
            <w:rFonts w:ascii="Symbol" w:hAnsi="Symbol" w:hint="default"/>
            <w:sz w:val="20"/>
          </w:rPr>
        </w:lvl>
        <w:lvl w:ilvl="1">
          <w:start w:val="1"/>
          <w:numFmt w:val="bullet"/>
          <w:lvlText w:val="o"/>
          <w:lvlJc w:val="left"/>
          <w:pPr>
            <w:tabs>
              <w:tab w:val="num" w:pos="1440"/>
            </w:tabs>
            <w:ind w:left="1440" w:hanging="360"/>
          </w:pPr>
          <w:rPr>
            <w:rFonts w:ascii="Courier New" w:hAnsi="Courier New" w:hint="default"/>
            <w:sz w:val="20"/>
          </w:rPr>
        </w:lvl>

    If I remove all the <w:tabs....> nodes, the alignment is fine, otherwise it has too much hanging indentation when the content is more than one line.

    I am going to see if I can simply remove it from the numbering generation without breaking anything else…

    Thanks,

    Garth

    Hi Eric: I was about to re-post a response to this. I discovered that the original source we were using to populate the system contained non-breaking hyphens (‑) which I was not aware of.

    If have replaced all of these with regular hyphens and all works well. During the course of the investigation I discovered that it was not necessarily restricted to the LI elements either.

    Thanks for the quick response,

    in reply to: Search and replace in a file – in memory #3730

    OK I was able to get this to work in memory. I guess the behaviour when you save the file is different than when you just work in memory.

    I if do it thusly it works:

     // open our template and do our quick search and replace
                var templateDoc = new WmlDocument(templatePath);
                
                templateDoc = TextReplacer.SearchAndReplace(templateDoc, "<TitlePageGroupAndCode>", _caTitle, true);
                templateDoc = TextReplacer.SearchAndReplace(templateDoc, "<TitlePageBargainingAgentName>", _bargainingAgentName, true);
                templateDoc = TextReplacer.SearchAndReplace(templateDoc, "<TitlePageGroupName>", _groupName, true);
                templateDoc = TextReplacer.SearchAndReplace(templateDoc, "<TitlePageExpiryDate>", _expiryDate, true);
                templateDoc = TextReplacer.SearchAndReplace(templateDoc, "<CopyrightBargainingAgentName>", _bargainingAgentName, true);
                

    Cheers,

    Garth
