Placing Checkbox in Center of a cell in Word

It seems, that I am not able to place a checkbox horizontally aligned in a cell in Aspose Words.

    private void InsertCheckBox(Cell cell)
    {
        cell.CellFormat.VerticalAlignment = CellVerticalAlignment.Center;
        StructuredDocumentTag SdtCheckBox = new StructuredDocumentTag(Builder.Document, SdtType.Checkbox, MarkupLevel.Inline)
        {
            Tag = "Berichtspflicht",
            Title = "Berichtspflicht",
            Checked = false
        };
        // No effect
        Builder.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Center;
        // Does not work until filled
        SdtCheckBox.ContentsFont.Size = 20;
        // Insert content control into the document 
        Builder.InsertNode(SdtCheckBox);
        // Works for empty checkboxes
        ((Run)SdtCheckBox.FirstChild).Font.Size = 20;
        var x = (Paragraph) SdtCheckBox.ParentNode;
        x.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Center;
    }

What i my failure?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I do not have any specific Input Document. I am generating a new Document from scratch. All I want to know is how to insert a StructuredDocumentTag CheckBox centered in a cell with a specific fontsize (20 points).

@Holger_Schulze,

Please see these input/output documents (Docs.zip (18.8 KB)) and try running the following code:

Document doc = new Document("E:\\Temp\\in.docx");
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

Table table = doc.FirstSection.Body.Tables[0];
Cell cell = table.Rows[1].FirstCell;
cell.CellFormat.VerticalAlignment = CellVerticalAlignment.Center;
cell.FirstParagraph.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Center;

builder.MoveTo(cell.FirstParagraph);

StructuredDocumentTag checkbox = new StructuredDocumentTag(doc, SdtType.Checkbox, MarkupLevel.Inline);
checkbox.Checked = true;
checkbox.Tag = "sdt1";
checkbox.ContentsFont.Bold = true;
checkbox.ContentsFont.Name = "Arial";
checkbox.ContentsFont.Color = Color.Red;

builder.InsertNode(checkbox);

doc.Save("E:\\Temp\\19.4.docx");

Hope, this helps.
