Hi,

The issue is I have converted the Html to Word, the list bullet symbol is moved to more right side. So I want reset ‘ParagraphFormat.LeftIndent’ value. And my document contains ‘two’List Level’.
I have attached the document & html.

Thanks.

Hi Mani,

Thanks for your inquiry. Please use ListFormat.ListLevelNumber property to get or set the list level number (0 to 8) for the paragraph. In your case, we suggest you please set the value of ParagraphFormat.LeftIndent when value of ListFormat.ListLevelNumber is 1.

You may use following code example to get the desired output. If you still face problem, please share your expected output document here for our reference. We will investigate how you want your final Word output be generated like. We will then provide you more information on this along with code.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "in.html");
foreach (Paragraph para in doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Paragraph, true))
{
    if (para.IsListItem)
    {
        int ListLevelNumber = para.ListFormat.ListLevelNumber;
        List list = para.ListFormat.List;
        para.ParagraphFormat.ClearFormatting();
        para.ListFormat.ListLevelNumber = ListLevelNumber;
        para.ListFormat.List = list;
    }
}
doc.Save(MyDir + "17.4.docx");

Hi Mani,

Thanks for your inquiry. You can use ParagraphFormat.LeftIndent to set the left indentation of paragraph. However, we suggest you please use ListLevel.NumberPosition and ListLevel.TextPosition properties to achieve your requirements.

If you face any issue, please share your expected output document. We will investigate how you want your final Word output be generated like. We will then provide you more information on this along with code.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "in.html");
List list = null;
foreach (Paragraph para in doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Paragraph, true))
{
    if (para.IsListItem)
    {
        int ListLevelNumber = para.ListFormat.ListLevelNumber;
        list = para.ListFormat.List;
        para.ParagraphFormat.ClearFormatting();
        para.ListFormat.ListLevelNumber = ListLevelNumber;
        para.ListFormat.List = list;
    }
}
list.ListLevels[1].NumberPosition -= 10;
list.ListLevels[1].TextPosition -= 10;
doc.Save(MyDir + "17.4.docx");

Hi Mani,

Thanks for your inquiry. Please note that the paragraph formatting is different in both HTML and DOC input documents. If you decrease the value of left indent of paragraphs for both documents, you will get the different output.

As per my understanding, you are using the same code for both input documents. We suggest you please create a new list and apply it to paragraphs as shown below. Hope this helps you.

If this does not help you, please manually create your expected Word document using Microsoft Word and attach it here for our reference. We will then provide you more information on this along with code.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "Input_TestDocument.html");
List list = doc.Lists.Add(ListTemplate.NumberArabicDot);
foreach (Paragraph para in doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Paragraph, true))
{
    if (para.IsListItem)
    {
        int ListLevelNumber = para.ListFormat.ListLevelNumber;
        para.ParagraphFormat.ClearFormatting();
        para.ListFormat.ListLevelNumber = ListLevelNumber;
        para.ListFormat.List = list;
    }
}
doc.Save(MyDir + "17.4.docx");

Hi Tahir Manzoor,

Thanks for your response, we have a lot of html documents. I need to merge all html documents using my template word document. It contains my own paragraph styles. After merging the document from html, I want to retain my paragraph style name. Because my html and template word contain same ‘List’ paragraph style name(Html-CSS-ClassName==WordListParagraphName).

Issue : After merging the document, my list paragraph(bullet symol) is moved litle right. But When I create a list style in my document, it starts at a different position.
Example: The paragraph ‘Style selected directly in Word’. Style: ‘KurzListe’

Thanks & Regards,

foreach (Paragraph paragraph in docInclude.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Paragraph, true))
{
    string strStyleName = paragraph.ParagraphFormat.StyleName;
    if (paragraph.IsListItem)
    {
        int ListLevelNumber = paragraph.ListFormat.ListLevelNumber;
        paragraph.ParagraphFormat.ClearFormatting();
        paragraph.ParagraphBreakFont.ClearFormatting();
        foreach (Run run in paragraph.Runs)
        {
            run.Font.ClearFormatting();
        }
        paragraph.ParagraphFormat.StyleName = strStyleName;
        Console.WriteLine(strStyleName);
        paragraph.ListFormat.ListLevelNumber = ListLevelNumber;
    }

Another Ques: How to restart the ‘List’ number in ‘Document’ level?

Please use ListLevel.StartAt property to set the starting number for this list level. In this case, you need to clone the current list and set it for desired paragraphs. ListCollection.addCopy method creates a new list by copying the specified list and adding it to the collection of lists in the document. You may use ListLevel.RestartAfterLevel property to set the list level that must appear before the specified list level restarts numbering.
