Aspose.Words Product Family

I am trying to convert word template into DOCX document using Aspose LINQ Reporting Engine.

I have one scenario where table cells are getting merged vertically depending upon data structure.
I have attached one of the table example here.

Is this possible to create this kind of merging cells structure using LINQ Reporting Engine?

I have created and attached small example console here.
This has my custom object structure which will be input to the LINQ Reporting Engine.
If you create POCExample_Template_INPUT.docx file as Template and run the console, it should generated word document with data.

Please check and let me know if you need any inputs on this.

@psluzhevsky,

Please upgrade to the latest version of Aspose.Words for .NET i.e. 19.1. The table cell merging is now available through using the newly added cellMerge tags. The “Merging Table Cells Dynamically” section of the documentation of LINQ Reporting Engine was added to describe the change.
