Finding a table

rfarris2000 · April 22, 2013, 2:49pm

Is there a better way other than by table index to find a table in a word document? Ideally, I would like to set a bookmark and then get the next table after that bookmark.
This is what I am doing now:

Dim parentTable = DirectCast(WordDocument.GetChild(NodeType.Table, 6, True), Aspose.Words.Tables.Table)

Hi Russ,

Thanks for your inquiry. You are getting the Table node correctly. You may also get all Table nodes by Document.GetChildNodes method as shown in following code snippet.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "in.docx");
foreach(Table table in doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Table, true))
{}

I was actually able to get it this way:

bk = WordDocument.Range.Bookmarks("ItemTable")
parentTable = DirectCast(bk.BookMarkEnd.GetAncestor(NodeType.Table), Aspose.Words.Tables.Table)
