Hi Kirupananthan,

Please use the following code snippet to create nested table. Let us know, If you have any further queries.

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
// Build the outer table.
Aspose.Words.Tables.Cell cell = builder.InsertCell();
builder.Writeln("Outer Table Cell 1");
builder.InsertCell();
builder.Writeln("Outer Table Cell 2");
// This call is important in order to create a nested table within the first table
// Without this call the cells inserted below will be appended to the outer table.
builder.EndTable();
// Move to the first cell of the outer table.
builder.MoveTo(cell.FirstParagraph);
// Build the inner table.
builder.InsertCell();
builder.Writeln("Inner Table Cell 1");
builder.InsertCell();
builder.Writeln("Inner Table Cell 2");
builder.EndTable();
doc.Save(MyDir + "DocumentBuilder.InsertNestedTable Out.doc");

exception:

Aspose.Words.Tables.Cell cell = builder.InsertCell();

The type name ‘Cell’ does not exist in the type ‘Aspose.Words.Tables’

Is this any dll problem?
