Merging tables leads to strange result table

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hi,

I have document with 2 tables. Between these tables is one paragraph. I expect by removing the Paragraph that will be tables merged on the same way as it does by Word.

Original document : tableMerge.docx

When I open document by Word and simply delete paragraph that is between tables, tables will be merged on natural way. Result document : mergedProperly.docx

If I do that with Aspose and following code snippet I fails adn get unexpectedly merged table. Result document : mergedWrongly.docx

Code snippet

public static void MergeTables()
{
Aspose.Words.Document doc = new Aspose.Words.Document(@"");
List paras =
doc.FirstSection.Body.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Paragraph, false)
.Cast()
.ToList();


foreach (Aspose.Words.Paragraph para in paras)
{
if(para.GetText().StartsWith("sss"))
{
para.RemoveNodeSafely();
}
}


string documentName = @"";
doc.Save(documentName, SaveFormat.Docx);
}

Could you please let me know how to accomplish that ?

Thanks,
Rastko

Hi Rastko,

I can’t see your attachment, but from the description, it could be similar problem to the one I have. See this thread, Consecutive tables joined incorrectly if page numbering is used - Free Support Forum - aspose.com, there is a workaround there (marked in yellow), maybe it will work for you until you get a valid fix.

Best wishes,
Krzysztof

Hi there,

Yes, calling Table.AutoFit(AutoFitBehavior.FixedColumnWidths) method after removing the paragraph between tables will fix this issue.

Please let us know if you have any more queries.

Thanks,


just to clarify, this is only a workaround, you will place fix for this in next release ?

Thanks,

In case when we are inserting several tables one by one that are different we can not apply this workaround. We need to apply this AutoFitBehavior only on some tables. As this is a dynamicprocess I can not know on which to apply.


We will wait for regular fix to process further.
