Changing the text in a Word table cell

Hi,

I’m looking for a way to modify the text in a table cell. I can retrieve the text like this:

doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Table, true)[0]).Rows[0].Cells[0].ToTxt();

but I can’t find any method which allows me to change the text.

I thought about removing the ChildNode and adding a new one, but when I tried that I got an error message that I can’t create a new instance of the abstract class Node(), so I can’t figure out how to use something like this:

doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Table, true)[0]).Rows[0].Cells[0].ChildNodes.Add(…);

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your inquiry. Please check following code snippet, used to change text of a cell. Hopefully it will serve the purpose.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "TableTest.docx");
Table tbl = doc.Sections[0].Body.Tables[0];
tbl.Rows[0].Cells[0].FirstParagraph.Runs.Clear();
tbl.Rows[0].Cells[0].FirstParagraph.AppendChild(new Run(doc,"hello"));

Please feel free to contact us for any further assistance.
