Thanks again Eric. I was able to get it to do what I needed by changing the call to GetTableProperties, passing in the settings. I added a setting to respect the column widths (since I know they are going to be valid – 50% each) and if set then the GetTableProperties adds a w:tblLayout type="fixed" element to the TableProperties element. In playing around with it, I found that Word added that element if I went into the table options and de-selected the “Automatically resize to fit contents” option.

A bit of a hack, but it works for me. I was initially thinking that I could do it in the GetTableGrid method if the width properties had the important declaration, but it appears to be too late in the game…

Thanks again.

OK thanks Eric. I will continue to do what I have been doing, which is using a docx file as a template that only has a header with the paging control in it and merging it with the output generated by the HtmlToWmlConverter.

Eric:

Here is an example of what is being generated by the HtmlToWmlConverter:

<w:abstractNum w:abstractNumId="1">
    <w:nsid w:val="E4F23709"/>
    <w:multiLevelType w:val="multilevel"/>
    <w:tmpl w:val="02BEA0DA"/>
    <w:lvl w:ilvl="0">
      <w:start w:val="1"/>
      <w:numFmt w:val="bullet"/>
      <w:lvlText w:val=""/>
      <w:lvlJc w:val="left"/>
      <w:pPr>
        <w:tabs>
          <w:tab w:val="num" w:pos="720"/>
        </w:tabs>
        <w:ind w:left="720" w:hanging="360"/>
      </w:pPr>
      <w:rPr>
        <w:rFonts w:ascii="Symbol" w:hAnsi="Symbol" w:hint="default"/>
        <w:sz w:val="20"/>
      </w:rPr>
    </w:lvl>
    <w:lvl w:ilvl="1">
      <w:start w:val="1"/>
      <w:numFmt w:val="bullet"/>
      <w:lvlText w:val="o"/>
      <w:lvlJc w:val="left"/>
      <w:pPr>
        <w:tabs>
          <w:tab w:val="num" w:pos="1440"/>
        </w:tabs>
        <w:ind w:left="1440" w:hanging="360"/>
      </w:pPr>
      <w:rPr>
        <w:rFonts w:ascii="Courier New" w:hAnsi="Courier New" w:hint="default"/>
        <w:sz w:val="20"/>
      </w:rPr>
    </w:lvl>

If I remove all the <w:tabs....> nodes, the alignment is fine, otherwise it has too much hanging indentation when the content is more than one line.

I am going to see if I can simply remove it from the numbering generation without breaking anything else…

Thanks,

Garth

Hi Eric: I was about to re-post a response to this. I discovered that the original source we were using to populate the system contained non-breaking hyphens (‑) which I was not aware of.

If have replaced all of these with regular hyphens and all works well. During the course of the investigation I discovered that it was not necessarily restricted to the LI elements either.

Thanks for the quick response,

Garth

OK I was able to get this to work in memory. I guess the behaviour when you save the file is different than when you just work in memory.

I if do it thusly it works:

 // open our template and do our quick search and replace
            var templateDoc = new WmlDocument(templatePath);
            
            templateDoc = TextReplacer.SearchAndReplace(templateDoc, "<TitlePageGroupAndCode>", _caTitle, true);
            templateDoc = TextReplacer.SearchAndReplace(templateDoc, "<TitlePageBargainingAgentName>", _bargainingAgentName, true);
            templateDoc = TextReplacer.SearchAndReplace(templateDoc, "<TitlePageGroupName>", _groupName, true);
            templateDoc = TextReplacer.SearchAndReplace(templateDoc, "<TitlePageExpiryDate>", _expiryDate, true);
            templateDoc = TextReplacer.SearchAndReplace(templateDoc, "<CopyrightBargainingAgentName>", _bargainingAgentName, true);
            

Cheers,

Garth
