Hello,

When I am creating a tables that contains dynamic cells in rows, I can’t keep the rows staying in same width. I tried the following methods and all failed.

Method #1:

Table table=new Table(doc);
Row row1 = new Row(doc);
row1.Cells.Add(new Cell(doc));
table.Rows.Add(row1);

Row row2 = new Row(doc);
row2.Cells.Add(new Cell(doc));
row2.Cells.Add(new Cell(doc)); 
table.Rows.Add(row2);

Method #2:
Using DocumentBuilder to build the above table.

Method #3:
Creating a 2X2 table, and then merge the 2 cells in the 1st Row.

Please see attached screen shot. Please let me know how I can create the expected table with rows staying in same width.

Thank you!

Hi Jiang,

Thanks for your inquiry. You can achieve your requirements by using CellFormat.HorizontalMerge property. I suggest you please read following documentation link for your kind reference.
https://docs.aspose.com/words/net/working-with-columns-and-rows/

Following code example creates a table with two rows with cells in the first row horizontally merged.

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
builder.InsertCell();
builder.CellFormat.HorizontalMerge = CellMerge.First;
builder.Write("Text in merged cells.");
builder.InsertCell();
// This cell is merged to the previous and should be empty.
builder.CellFormat.HorizontalMerge = CellMerge.Previous;
builder.EndRow();
builder.InsertCell();
builder.CellFormat.HorizontalMerge = CellMerge.None;
builder.Write("Text in one cell.");
builder.InsertCell();
builder.Write("Text in another cell.");
builder.EndRow();
builder.EndTable();
doc.Save(MyDir + "AsposeOut.docx");
