The follow is complete steps
1、create a MS word, set compatibility mode of 2010
doc.CompatibilityOptions.OptimizeFor(Aspose.Words.Settings.MsWordVersion.Word2010);
2、insert the question content to document, the question 3 and 4 is table with one row, then set the question 3 and question 4 table property “Allow row to break across the page” is false, because the question 3 table is right at the bottom of the page 1, and question 4 content is overlap the page content, there will be a blank page , please reference the original.docx document.

@TommyZhou,

Thanks for being patient. Please check these simplified input/output Word documents and try running the following code:

C# Code:

Document doc = new Document("E:\\Temp\\input.docx");

Paragraph targetPara = doc.FirstSection.Body.FirstParagraph;
targetPara.ParagraphFormat.LineSpacingRule = LineSpacingRule.Exactly;
targetPara.ParagraphFormat.LineSpacing = 1;

doc.Save("E:\\Temp\\20.4.docx");

Hope, this helps in achieving what you are looking for.

Thanks for your reply,

we are looking for alternative method to resolve it, it’s difficult for us to check the line space position,this is the crux of the matter.

@TommyZhou,

One way is to look for empty Paragraphs after Tables and then adjust their Line Spacing:

Document doc = new Document("E:\\Temp\\211869\\original.docx");

foreach (Table table in doc.FirstSection.Body.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Table, true))
{
    Paragraph targetPara = (Paragraph)table.NextSibling;
    if (targetPara != null && string.IsNullOrEmpty(targetPara.ToString(SaveFormat.Text).Trim()))
    {
        targetPara.ParagraphFormat.LineSpacingRule = LineSpacingRule.Exactly;
        targetPara.ParagraphFormat.LineSpacing = 1;
    }
}

doc.Save("E:\\Temp\\211869\\20.4.docx");
