We apologize for your inconvenience.

Is there some other way to get the start page of the table node?
Because we had to get the start page number urgently in the project in order to keep the logic running. I hope you can give me a feasible plan, I will be very grateful.

@TobyLiu

In your case, we suggest you following solution.

  1. Please insert the bookmarks in the first and last cell of table.
  2. Get the page number using BookmarkStart node.

Please check the following code example. Hope this helps you.

var document = new Document(MyDir + "Printout sample_ modified.docx");
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(document);

document.CompatibilityOptions.OptimizeFor(Aspose.Words.Settings.MsWordVersion.Word2010);

LayoutCollector layoutCollector = new LayoutCollector(document);
var tables = document.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Table, true);
foreach (Table table in tables)
{
    var tableIndex = tables.IndexOf(table);
    if (tableIndex == 21)//The table 21 is which has error start Page Index.
    {
        builder.MoveTo(table.FirstRow.FirstCell.FirstParagraph);
        builder.StartBookmark("startbm");
        builder.EndBookmark("startbm");

        builder.MoveTo(table.LastRow.LastCell.LastParagraph);
        builder.StartBookmark("endbm");
        builder.EndBookmark("endbm");

        //Console.WriteLine($"Error across page index of table[{tableIndex}]:{startPageIndex}~{endPageIndex}");
    }
    else
    {
        //Console.WriteLine($"Across page index of table[{tableIndex}]:{startPageIndex}~{endPageIndex}");
    }
}

Bookmark bm1 = document.Range.Bookmarks["startbm"];
Bookmark bm2 = document.Range.Bookmarks["endbm"];
document.UpdatePageLayout();

Console.WriteLine("Start table page no. " + layoutCollector.GetStartPageIndex(bm1.BookmarkStart));
Console.WriteLine("End table page no. " + layoutCollector.GetStartPageIndex(bm2.BookmarkStart));
