here it is, difference between input and output files is the order/direction of columns in the table, instead of left-to-right table, it’s suppose to be right-to-left table

Please use Table.Bidi property as shown below to get the desired output.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "input_table_ltr.docx");
Table table = (Table)doc.GetChild(NodeType.Table, 0, true);
table.Bidi = true;
doc.Save(MyDir + "20.2.docx");

ok thanks, i did the bidi thing,
but now it worked only after placing it at the end of the table manipulations before the doc.Save
did the trick and worked. thanks!
