Hi

Thanks for your request. Yes, of course you can do that using Aspose.Words. you should just insert PAGE field into header and footer of your document. for example see the following code:

// Create new Docuemnt and DocumentBuilder
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
// Insert PAGE field into the header and footer
builder.MoveToHeaderFooter(HeaderFooterType.HeaderPrimary);
builder.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Center;
builder.Write("- ");
builder.InsertField("PAGE", null);
builder.Write(" -");
// do the same for primary footer
builder.MoveToHeaderFooter(HeaderFooterType.FooterPrimary);
builder.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Center;
builder.Write("- ");
builder.InsertField("PAGE", null);
builder.Write(" -");
// Now move cursor to the document's body and insert page break (just for testing)
builder.MoveToDocumentStart();
builder.InsertBreak(BreakType.PageBreak);
// Save output document
doc.Save(@"Test174\out.doc");

In addition, I think the following article could be useful for you:

Hope this helps.

Hi

Thanks for your request. Code is the same as I already provided in my previous answer. There are just small changes:

// Create new Docuemnt and DocumentBuilder
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
// Insert PAGE field into the header and footer
builder.MoveToHeaderFooter(HeaderFooterType.HeaderPrimary);
builder.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Center;
builder.Write("- ");
builder.InsertField("PAGE", null);
builder.Write(" -");
// Here you can insert more text
// Also you can change formation of text, for example color
builder.Font.Color = Color.LightGreen;
builder.Write("Company Name: ABC Pvt Ltd.");
// do the same for primary footer
builder.MoveToHeaderFooter(HeaderFooterType.FooterPrimary);
builder.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Center;
builder.Write("Page ");
builder.InsertField("PAGE", null);
builder.Write(" of ");
builder.InsertField("NUMPAGES", null);
// Here you can insert more text
// Also you can change formation of text, for example color
builder.Font.Color = Color.Red;
builder.Write("Company Name: ABC Pvt Ltd.");
// Now move cursor to the document's body and insert page break (just for testing)
builder.MoveToDocumentStart();
builder.InsertBreak(BreakType.PageBreak);
// Save output document
doc.Save(@"Test174\out.doc");

Best regards.

@ramesh676 Please use the following code to clear table borders:

Hi @alexey.noskov,

The above line worked fine for me thanks!!

I have one more query , I want to decrease the font size in footer. How can I control the font size?

Ramesh.

@ramesh676 You can specify font formatting using Font class properties. For example see the following code:

builder.getFont().setSize(36.0);
builder.write("Some text");
