Hi Pyntia,

Thanks for your inquiry. Please note that Aspose.Words mimics the same behavior as MS Word does. If you want to insert text left and right of the page in one paragraph, you need to add space inside the same paragraph.

You can also achieve your requirement by inserting a table with one row and two cells. Please check the following code example for your kind reference. Hope this helps you.

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
// We call this method to start building the table.
Table table = builder.StartTable();
builder.InsertCell();
builder.Write("Row 1, Cell 1 Content.");
// Build the second cell
builder.InsertCell();
builder.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Right;
builder.Write("Page ");
builder.InsertField("PAGE", "");
// Call the following method to end the row and start a new row.
builder.EndRow();
// Signal that we have finished building the table.
builder.EndTable();
doc.UpdateFields();
// Save the document to disk.
doc.Save(MyDir + "Out.docx");

hi, Tahir

thank you for sharing me this good idea.

but table element will show additional line break mark at each end of line.

i want to insert space inside the paragraph, but i cannot get the accurate width of the existed text. is any idea for this?

Hi Pyntia,

Thanks for your inquiry. There is no specific way to calculate the accurate width of existing text in a line and insert n number of spaces inside the same paragraph. This also depends on font size.

As a work around you can try using a fixed width font, such as Courier New. Using this font, you can calculate number of characters inside the same paragraph/line. Hope this helps you.
