Hi, guys!
I have the problem with inserting table inside cell. I want to insert table within cell with several columns.
My sample code is:

private void WriteTable(bool insertInnerTable)
{
    var isOuterTable = !_builder.CurrentParagraph.IsInCell;
    var table = _builder.StartTable();
    var columnsCount = 2;
    var rowCount = 3;
    if (isOuterTable)
    {
        for (int c = 0; c < columnsCount; c++)
        {
            Cell cell = _builder.InsertCell();
            cell.CellFormat.PreferredWidth = PreferredWidth.FromPercent(50);
            cell.CellFormat.Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = Color.LightGray;
            _builder.Font.Bold = false;
            _builder.MoveTo(cell.FirstParagraph);
            _builder.Write(string.Format("header {0}", c + 1));
        }
        _builder.EndRow();
        _builder.CellFormat.ClearFormatting();
        _builder.RowFormat.ClearFormatting();
    }
    for (int rowIndex = 0; rowIndex < rowCount; rowIndex++)
    {
        for (int columnIndex = 0; columnIndex < columnsCount; columnIndex++)
        {
            Cell cell = _builder.InsertCell();
            cell.CellFormat.PreferredWidth = PreferredWidth.FromPercent(50);
            if (insertInnerTable)
            {
                WriteTable(false);
            }
            else
            {
                _builder.Write("value");
            }
        }
        _builder.EndRow();
        rowIndex++;
    }
    table.AllowAutoFit = false;
    _builder.EndTable();
}

I got:

header 1 header 2
value value
value value
value value
value value
value value
value value
value value
value value

As you see, columns in tables are not the same widths from row to row. Why? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Yulia.

Hi Yulia,

Thanks for your inquiry. Perhaps, you are using an older version of Aspose.Words; as with Aspose.Words v11.10.0, I am unable to reproduce this problem on my side. I would suggest you please upgrade to the latest version of Aspose.Words i.e. v11.10.0 and let us know how it goes on your side. I hope, this will help.

I have used the following code snippet with your shared function. Please find the output document in attachment.

Document doc = new Document();
_builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
WriteTable(true);
doc.Save(MyDir + "AsposeOut.docx");

Please feel free to ask if you have any question about Aspose.Words, we will be happy to help you.
