Header text not visible

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Hi

I’m trying to add header and footer text to word documents. I have followed the sample code provide here

http://www.aspose.com/documentation/.net-components/aspose.words-for-.net-and-java/howto-create-headersfooters-using-documentbuilder.html

The footer is as expected but the header text is not visible? I can remove an existing header but can’t add a new header.

This is the code I am using…

DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(document);

Aspose.Words.PageSetup pageSetup = currentSection.PageSetup;

pageSetup.DifferentFirstPageHeaderFooter = true;

builder.MoveToHeaderFooter(HeaderFooterType.HeaderPrimary);

builder.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Center;

builder.Font.Name = "Arial";

builder.Font.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Black;

builder.Font.Size = 8;

// Specify header title for the other page.

builder.Write("Aspose.Words Header/Footer Creation Primer - Title Page.");

builder.InsertField("PAGE", "");

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Kathy

Hi

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Thanks for your inquiry. You should use HeaderFirst instead of HeaderPrimary

DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

Section currentSection = builder.CurrentSection;

PageSetup pageSetup = currentSection.PageSetup;

pageSetup.DifferentFirstPageHeaderFooter = true;

builder.MoveToHeaderFooter(HeaderFooterType.HeaderFirst);

builder.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Center;

builder.Font.Name = "Arial";

builder.Font.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Black;

builder.Font.Size = 8;

// Specify header title for the other page.

builder.Write("Aspose.Words Header/Footer Creation Primer - Title Page.");

builder.InsertField("PAGE", "");

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Thank you for the reply, using teh code suggested

builder.MoveToHeaderFooter(HeaderFooterType.HeaderFirst);<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

the header appears on the first page only. I don't want the header to appaer on the first page, I only want it on subsequent pages.

In addition to the above code I have the following,

Aspose.Words.PageSetup pageSetup = currentSection.PageSetup;
pageSetup.DifferentFirstPageHeaderFooter = true;

builder.MoveToHeaderFooter(HeaderFooterType.HeaderPrimary);

builder.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Center;

builder.Font.Name = "Arial";

builder.Font.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Black;

builder.Font.Size = 8;

// Specify header title for the other page.

builder.Write("Aspose.Words Header/Footer Creation Primer - Title Page.");

builder.InsertField("PAGE", "");

This results in the header appearing twice on the first page and no header on any other pages.

Please advise?

Thanks

Kathy

I forgot to add that I have also tried using HeaderEven, although this doesn't appear to work either!

pageSetup.HeaderDistance = 20;
builder.MoveToHeaderFooter(HeaderFooterType.HeaderEven); //other pages footer
builder.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Center;

// Set font properties for header text.
builder.Font.Name = "Arial";
builder.Font.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Black;
builder.Font.Size = 8;

Thanks,

Kathy

Hi

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Thank you for additional information. Please try using the following code:

Document doc = new Document();

DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

Section currentSection = builder.CurrentSection;

PageSetup pageSetup = currentSection.PageSetup;

pageSetup.DifferentFirstPageHeaderFooter = true;

builder.MoveToHeaderFooter(HeaderFooterType.HeaderPrimary);

builder.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Center;

builder.Font.Name = "Arial";

builder.Font.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Black;

builder.Font.Size = 8;

// Specify header title for the other page.

builder.Write("Aspose.Words Header/Footer Creation Primer - Title Page.");

builder.InsertField("PAGE", "");

// Create pages in the document.

builder.MoveToDocumentStart();

builder.Writeln("Page1");

builder.InsertBreak(BreakType.PageBreak);

builder.Writeln("Page2");

builder.InsertBreak(BreakType.PageBreak);

builder.Writeln("Page3");

doc.Save("out.doc");

In this case the header appears just on the Page2 and Page3. I have attached my out.doc here.

Best regards,

Thanks Andrey,

This issue has now been resolved. There was a problem with the template that I was using which was blocking the header from appearing. The code provided is now working correctly.

Many thanks for your help.
