Hi Christophe,

Thanks for your inquiry. Please read the following article about creating header/footer in the document.
https://docs.aspose.com/words/net/working-with-headers-and-footers/

Moreover, please use following code example to achieve your requirements. Hope this helps you.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "in.docx");
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
builder.MoveToDocumentEnd();
Section currentSection = builder.CurrentSection;
PageSetup pageSetup = currentSection.PageSetup;
builder.MoveToHeaderFooter(HeaderFooterType.FooterPrimary);
Table table = builder.StartTable();
// Insert a cell
builder.InsertCell();
table.PreferredWidth = PreferredWidth.FromPercent(100);
builder.Write("This is row 1 cell 1");
// Insert a cell
builder.InsertCell();
builder.Write("This is row 1 cell 2");
builder.EndRow();
// Insert a cell
builder.InsertCell();
builder.Write("This is row 2 cell 1");
// Insert a cell
builder.InsertCell();
builder.Write("This is row 2 cell 2");
builder.EndRow();
builder.EndTable();
// Save the resulting document.
doc.Save(MyDir + "HeaderFooter Out.docx");

Hi Christophe,

Thanks for your inquiry. In case you are using older version of Aspose.Word, please use Aspose.Words for .NET 15.3.0. Hope this helps you. You may use following code example to set the bottom border of a cell.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "in.docx");
foreach (Cell cell in doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Cell, true))
{
    cell.CellFormat.Borders.Bottom.LineStyle = LineStyle.Single;
    cell.CellFormat.Borders.Bottom.LineWidth = 1;
}
doc.Save(MyDir + "Out.docx");

If you still face problem, please share following detail for investigation purposes.

  • Please attach your input Word document.

  • Please create a standalone/runnable simple application (for example a Console
    Application Project    ) that demonstrates the code (Aspose.Words code) you used to generate your output document

  • Please attach the output Word file that shows the undesired behavior.

  • Please attach your target Word document showing the desired behavior. You can
    use Microsoft Word to create your target Word document. I will investigate as to how you are expecting your final document be generated like.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to say what the problem is without the Document(s) and
simplified application. We need your Document(s) and simple project to
reproduce the problem. As soon as you get these pieces of information to
us we’ll start our investigation into your issue.

Hello tahir manzoor,

really thanks for your sample but my problem is this :

foreach (Cell cell in doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Cell, true))
{
    cell.CellFormat.Borders.Bottom.LineStyle = LineStyle.Single;

    if (endOfDocument == true)// => how i can do this ?
        cell.CellFormat.Borders.Bottom.LineWidth = 1;
    else
        cell.CellFormat.Borders.Bottom.LineWidth = 0;
}

I don’t want a border BOTTOM between row …
i want a border BOTTEM just at the end of table OR when i arrive at the end of document

Sorry for my english, i know it’s too bad

Thanks at all
Christophe

Hello,

Here is it my sample.
my code sample and the output of the document

When you open the document, you’ll see just a table with 70 rows
There is no border bottom between rows that’s normal

I want a border bottom ONLY if we are at the end of the page or the end of the table

int maxRows = 70;
builder.StartTable();

//
builder.CellFormat.ClearFormatting();

//
builder.Font.Size = 12;
builder.Font.Bold = true;

//
builder.StartTable();
builder.CellFormat.VerticalAlignment = Aspose.Words.Tables.CellVerticalAlignment.Center;

#region title

//
BorderCollection borders;

//
borders = builder.RowFormat.Borders;

//
borders.Right.LineWidth = borderTable;
borders.Right.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Black;

//
borders.Left.LineWidth = borderTable;
borders.Left.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Black;

//
borders.Top.LineWidth = borderTable;
borders.Top.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Black;

//
builder.CellFormat.Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = System.Drawing.Color.LightGray;
builder.RowFormat.Height = 0.2 * 72;

//
builder.InsertCell();
builder.CellFormat.Width = width;
builder.Write("Title Header");

//
builder.RowFormat.HeadingFormat = true;
builder.EndRow();

#endregion

#region Datas

//
builder.CellFormat.Shading.ClearFormatting();

//
builder.RowFormat.Height = 0.2 * 72;
builder.Font.Bold = false;
builder.Font.Size = 10;

for (int i = 0; i < maxRows; i++)
{

    //
    builder.InsertCell();
    builder.CellFormat.Borders.ClearFormatting();
    builder.Write(string.Format("row : {0}", i));
    builder.CellFormat.Borders.Left.LineWidth = borderTable;
    builder.CellFormat.Borders.Right.LineWidth = borderTable;

    //
    if (i != (maxRows - 1))
        builder.CellFormat.Borders.Bottom.LineWidth = 0;
    else
        builder.CellFormat.Borders.Bottom.LineWidth = borderTable;

    //
    builder.RowFormat.HeadingFormat = false;
    builder.EndRow();
}

#endregion

//
builder.EndTable();

thanks for all
Christophe
