Hi,

I have 2 word files and both has some tables. I want to copy one entire cell with format from one file and paste it to the second file. Currently I can only copy the text and place it to the second file.

In the source file of cell has some text, images, hyperlink, table etc. and I want to copy all contents to the cell of destination file. How do I achieve this?

@echospider,

Please see these sample input/output Word documents (Copy-CellFormat-Info.zip (10.2 KB)) and try running the following code. Hope, this helps.

// Source document you want to copy CellFormat from
Document doc = new Document(MyDir + @"input.docx");
// Empty document to copy CellFormat info to
Document dstDoc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(dstDoc);
// Create a One Row One Cell Table from scratch
Table dstTable = builder.StartTable();
Cell targetCell = builder.InsertCell();
builder.Writeln("I'm a wonderful formatted cell.");
builder.EndRow();
builder.EndTable();
// Get Cell you want to copy CellFormat of
Cell srcCell = doc.FirstSection.Body.Tables[0].LastRow.LastCell;
// Import the Cell in destination document
Cell dstCell = (Cell)dstDoc.ImportNode(srcCell, false);
dstCell.EnsureMinimum();
builder.MoveTo(dstCell.FirstParagraph);
builder.Writeln("I'm a wonderful formatted cell.");
// Insert the cell at Row 1 Cell 2 position
targetCell.ParentNode.InsertAfter(dstCell, targetCell);
// Save document
dstDoc.Save(MyDir + @"18.5.docx");

This is not the thing I want to achieve. I want to copy the whole content of a cell which has some text, hyperlink ,image etc. and paste the content to another existing cell in the destination table.

@echospider,

Please see these documents (Docs.zip (32.5 KB)) and try running the following code:

Document src = new Document(MyDir + @"Docs\src.docx");
Document dst = new Document(MyDir + @"Docs\dst.docx");

// Get Cell you want to copy
Cell srcCell = src.FirstSection.Body.Tables[0].FirstRow.FirstCell;
// Import the Cell in destination document
Cell dstCell = (Cell)dst.ImportNode(srcCell, true);

Cell targetCell = dst.FirstSection.Body.Tables[0].FirstRow.FirstCell;
// Insert the cell at Row 1 Cell 2 position
targetCell.ParentNode.InsertAfter(dstCell, targetCell);
// Save document
dst.Save(MyDir + @"Docs\18.5.docx");

Hope, this helps.

How do I insert/copy based on index. Eg: I want to put the cell at Row 1 Cell 1

I want to paste the cell to a particular cell of the destination table. For example I have 2 rows and 5 columns in destination table, I want to paste the copied cell to row number 1 cell number 3. Please help.
