Hi Pyntia,

Thanks for your inquiry.

Please note that formatting is applied on a few different levels. For example, let’s consider formatting of simple text. Text in documents is represented by Run element and a Run can only be a child of a Paragraph. You can apply formatting 1) to Run nodes by using Character Styles e.g. a Glyph Style, 2) to the parent of those Run nodes i.e. a Paragraph node (possibly via paragraph Styles) and 3) you can also apply direct formatting to Run nodes by using Run attributes (Font). In this case the Run will inherit formatting of Paragraph Style, a Glyph Style and then direct formatting.

Please use the ParagraphFormat.Style gets or sets the paragraph style applied as shown in following code example. If you still face problem, please share your input and expected output document. We will then provide you more information about your query along with code.

Document doc = new Document();

DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// Create a paragraph style and specify some formatting for it.

Style style = doc.Styles.Add(StyleType.Paragraph, "MyStyle1");

style.Font.Size = 24;

style.Font.Name = "Verdana";

style.ParagraphFormat.SpaceAfter = 12;

// Apply the paragraph style to the current paragraph in the document and add some text.

builder.ParagraphFormat.Style = style;

builder.Writeln("Hello World: MyStyle1.");

builder.Writeln("Hello World: MyStyle1.");

builder.Writeln("Hello World: MyStyle1.");

// Change to a paragraph style that has no list formatting.

builder.ParagraphFormat.Style = doc.Styles["Normal"];

builder.Writeln("Hello World: Normal.");

//Change style of first paragraph of document

Paragraph para = (Paragraph)doc.GetChild(NodeType.Paragraph, 0, true);

para.ParagraphFormat.ClearFormatting();

para.ParagraphFormat.StyleIdentifier = StyleIdentifier.Heading1;

doc.Save(MyDir + "Out.docx");

Hi Pyntia,


Thanks for your inquiry. You can remove custom list style from your document using Style.Remove method as shown below. Style removal has following effects on the document model:

  • All references to the style are removed from corresponding paragraphs, runs and tables.
  • If base style is removed its formatting is moved to child styles.
  • If style to be deleted has a linked style, then both of these are deleted.

Hope this helps you. Please let us know if you have any more queries.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "in.docx");

doc.Styles["listtemplate"].Remove();

doc.Save(MyDir + "Out.docx");
