Shading is a powerful feature in MS Word that adds a background color to specified text or paragraphs in a document. This not only enhances the visual appeal of the document, but also helps to differentiate between different sections and makes the content more readable. In this article, you will learn how to apply shading to a paragraph or text in Word in C# using Spire.Doc for .NET.
Install Spire.Doc for .NET
To begin with, you need to add the DLL files included in the Spire.Doc for.NET package as references in your .NET project. The DLL files can be either downloaded from this link or installed via NuGet.
PM> Install-Package Spire.Doc
Apply Paragraph Shading in Word in C#
Spire.Doc for .NET provides developers with the Paragraph.Format.BackColor property to apply a background color to a specified paragraph in Word. The following are the detailed steps:
- Create a Document instance.
- Load a Word document using Document.LoadFromFile() method.
- Get a specified section using Document.Sections[] property.
- Get a specified paragraph using Section.Paragraphs[] property.
- Set a background color for the paragraph using Paragraph.Format.BackColor property.
- Save the result document using Document.SaveToFile() method.
- C#
using Spire.Doc;
using Spire.Doc.Documents;
using System.Drawing;
namespace WordParagrahShade
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Create a Document instance
Document document = new Document();
// Load a Word document
document.LoadFromFile("Sample.docx");
// Get the first section
Section section = document.Sections[0];
// Get the second paragraph
Paragraph paragaph = section.Paragraphs[1];
// Set a background color for the paragraph
paragaph.Format.BackColor = Color.Yellow;
// Save the result document
document.SaveToFile("ParagraphBackground.docx", FileFormat.Docx);
}
}
}
Apply Shading to Specified Text in Word in C#
If you only need to apply shading to specified text, you can first find the specific text through the Paragraph.Find() method, get its text range and then set a background color for the text range through the TextRange.CharacterFormat.TextBackgroundColor property. The following are the detailed steps:
- Create a Document instance.
- Load a Word document using Document.LoadFromFile() method.
- Get a specified section using Document.Sections[] property.
- Get a specified paragraph using Section.Paragraphs[] property.
- Find a specified text in the paragraph Paragraph.Find() method.
- Get the text range of the found text using TextSelection.GetAsOneRange() method.
- Set a background color for the text range using TextRange.CharacterFormat.TextBackgroundColor property.
- Save the document using Document.SaveToFile() method.
- C#
using Spire.Doc;
using Spire.Doc.Documents;
using Spire.Doc.Fields;
using System.Drawing;
namespace ShadeText
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Create a Document instance
Document document = new Document();
// Load a Word document
document.LoadFromFile("Sample.docx");
// Get the first section
Section section = document.Sections[0];
// Get the first paragraph
Paragraph paragaph = section.Paragraphs[0];
// Find a specified text in the paragraph
TextSelection selection = paragaph.Find("Spire.Doc for .NET", true, false);
// Get the text range of the found text
TextRange range = selection.GetAsOneRange();
// Set a background color for the text range
range.CharacterFormat.TextBackgroundColor = Color.Red;
// Save the result document
document.SaveToFile("TextBackground.docx", FileFormat.Docx);
}
}
}

Group the Excel cells is to tie a range of cells together so that they can be collapsed or expanded. But usually, we also need to ungroup the Excel cells. Consequently, the articles aims at introducing how to ungroup Excel cells in C#, through a professional Excel .NET Component Spire.Xls.
Just as its name implies, ungroup Excel cells is to ungroup a range of cells that were previously grouped. Before ungroup Excel cells, we should complete the preparatory work:
- Download the Spire.XLS and install it on your machine.
- Add the Spire.XLS.dll files as reference.
- Open bin folder and select the three dll files under .NET 4.0.
- Right click property and select properties in its menu.
- Set the target framework as .NET 4.
- Add Spire.XLS as namespace.
Then here comes to the explanation of the code:
Step 1: Create an instance of Spire.XLS.Workbook.
Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
Step 2: Load the file base on a specified file path.
workbook.LoadFromFile(@"group.xlsx");
Step 3: Get the first worksheet.
Worksheet sheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];
Step 4: Ungroup the first 5 row cells.
sheet.UngroupByRows(1, 5);
Step 5: Save as the generated file.
workbook.SaveToFile(@"result.xlsx", ExcelVersion.Version2010);
Full code:
using Spire.Xls;
namespace UngroupCell
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
workbook.LoadFromFile(@"group.xlsx");
Worksheet sheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];
sheet.UngroupByRows(1, 5);
workbook.SaveToFile(@"..\..\result.xlsx", ExcelVersion.Version2010);
}
}
}

Page transitions display a decorative effect such as a dissolve or wipe when you’re turning pages in a document that is exported to PDF format. Page transitions are especially useful when you create a slideshow in PDF format. And Spire.PDF, a powerful .NET component specially designed for developers enables you to apply page transitions to PDF file.
A solution is introduced here to show how to apply page transitions to PDF using Spire.PDF. Spire.PDF provides you a class called PdfSection. PdfSection has a property called PageSettings. And PageSettings has a property called Transition. You can use this property to apply page transitions.
Step 1: Create a new section.
PdfSection section = doc.Sections.Add(); section.PageSettings.Size = PdfPageSize.A4;
Step 2: Create a new PdfPageTransition instance.
section.PageSettings.Transition = new PdfPageTransition();
Step 3: Set the style of page transition.
section.PageSettings.Transition.Style = PdfTransitionStyle.Fade;
You can assign any value that is defined in PdfTransitionStyle to Style.
Step 4: Set the duration of transition effect in seconds.
section.PageSettings.Transition.Duration = 3;
Step 5: Set the page's display duration.
section.PageSettings.Transition.PageDuration = 2;
Step 6: Add more sections and apply more page transitions.
section = doc.Sections.Add(); section.PageSettings.Size = PdfPageSize.A4; section.PageSettings.Transition = new PdfPageTransition(); section.PageSettings.Transition.Style = PdfTransitionStyle.Box; section.PageSettings.Transition.Motion = PdfTransitionMotion.Outward; section.PageSettings.Transition.Duration = 3; section.PageSettings.Transition.PageDuration = 2;
You can combine the type of PdfPageTransition with the property Direction and the property Dimension of PdfPageTransition to create new and flexible page transition. For example, in this step, the Style of page transition is PdfTransitionStyle.Box and the Motion of page transition is PdfTransitionMotion.Outward.
At last, save the file.
doc.SaveToFile("result.pdf");
To see page transitions in the PDF, open the PDF file in Full Screen.
Here comes to the full code:
using Spire.Pdf;
using Spire.Pdf.Graphics;
using System.Drawing;
namespace PageTransitions
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
PdfSection section = doc.Sections.Add();
section.PageSettings.Size = PdfPageSize.A4;
section.PageSettings.Transition = new PdfPageTransition();
section.PageSettings.Transition.Style = PdfTransitionStyle.Fade;
section.PageSettings.Transition.Duration = 3;
section.PageSettings.Transition.PageDuration = 2;
PdfNewPage page = section.Pages.Add();
page.BackgroundColor = Color.Blue;
page.Canvas.DrawString("This is Page One.", new PdfFont(PdfFontFamily.Helvetica, 20f), new PdfSolidBrush(Color.Black), 10, 10);
page = section.Pages.Add();
page.BackgroundColor = Color.Green;
page.Canvas.DrawString("This is Page Two.", new PdfFont(PdfFontFamily.Helvetica, 20f), new PdfSolidBrush(Color.Black), 10, 10);
section = doc.Sections.Add();
section.PageSettings.Size = PdfPageSize.A4;
section.PageSettings.Transition = new PdfPageTransition();
section.PageSettings.Transition.Style = PdfTransitionStyle.Box;
section.PageSettings.Transition.Motion = PdfTransitionMotion.Outward;
section.PageSettings.Transition.Duration = 3;
section.PageSettings.Transition.PageDuration = 2;
page = section.Pages.Add();
page.BackgroundColor = Color.Orange;
page.Canvas.DrawString("This is Page Three.", new PdfFont(PdfFontFamily.Helvetica, 20f), new PdfSolidBrush(Color.Black), 10, 10);
page = section.Pages.Add();
page.BackgroundColor = Color.Brown;
page.Canvas.DrawString("This is Page Four.", new PdfFont(PdfFontFamily.Helvetica, 20f), new PdfSolidBrush(Color.Black), 10, 10);
section = doc.Sections.Add();
section.PageSettings.Size = PdfPageSize.A4;
section.PageSettings.Transition = new PdfPageTransition();
section.PageSettings.Transition.Duration = 3;
section.PageSettings.Transition.Style = PdfTransitionStyle.Dissolve;
section.PageSettings.Transition.PageDuration = 2;
page = section.Pages.Add();
page.BackgroundColor = Color.Orange;
page.Canvas.DrawString("This is Page Five.", new PdfFont(PdfFontFamily.Helvetica, 20f), new PdfSolidBrush(Color.Black), 10, 10);
page = section.Pages.Add();
page.BackgroundColor = Color.Navy;
page.Canvas.DrawString("This is Page Six.", new PdfFont(PdfFontFamily.Helvetica, 20f), new PdfSolidBrush(Color.Black), 10, 10);
doc.SaveToFile("result.pdf");
doc.Close();

Make sure Spire.PDF for .NET has been installed correctly and then add Spire.Pdf.dll as reference in the downloaded Bin folder though the below path: "..\Spire.Pdf\Bin\NET4.0\ Spire.Pdf.dll". Here comes to the details of how developers Fill Form Fields by using Spire.PDF:
Step 1: Open the form that needs to fill the data
//Create a pdf document PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument(); //Load from file doc.LoadFromFile(@"..\..\FormField.pdf");
Step 2: Update the data to the form
//Get form
PdfFormWidget formWidget = doc.Form as PdfFormWidget;
for (int i = 0; i < formWidget.FieldsWidget.List.Count; i++)
{
PdfField field = formWidget.FieldsWidget.List[i] as PdfField;
//Fill the data for textBoxField
if (field is PdfTextBoxFieldWidget)
{
PdfTextBoxFieldWidget textBoxField = field as PdfTextBoxFieldWidget;
switch (textBoxField.Name)
{
case "email":
textBoxField.Text = "support@e-iceblue.com";
break;

PDF supports actions. And Spire.PDF, a very powerful .NET component enables developers to add action chain to PDF file. Action chain means an action get executed automatically after another one.
In this article, a solution is introduced to add action chain to PDF file.
Step 1: Set the action that gets performed right after PDF document is opened
String script
= "app.alert({"
+ " cMsg: \"I'll lead; you must follow me.\","
+ " nIcon: 3,"
+ " cTitle: \"JavaScript Action\""
+ "});";
PdfJavaScriptAction action1 = new PdfJavaScriptAction(script);
document.AfterOpenAction = action1;
Spire.PDF provides you a class called PdfJavaScriptAction that executes JavaScript code. Create a PdfJavaScriptAction instance “action1” using JavaScript code. And set the property AfterOpenAction of “document” to action1.
Step 2: Set the action that gets performed after “action1” using the property NextAction
script
= "app.alert({"
+ " cMsg: \"The firt page!\","
+ " nIcon: 3,"
+ " cTitle: \"JavaScript Action\""
+ "});";
PdfJavaScriptAction action2 = new PdfJavaScriptAction(script);
action1.NextAction = action2;
Step 3: Set the action that gets performed after “action2”
PdfDestination dest = new PdfDestination(pagetwo); dest.Zoom = 1; PdfGoToAction action3 = new PdfGoToAction(dest); action2.NextAction = action3;
PdfDestination can mark a specified page or location in PDF. Create a PdfDestination instance “dest” using “pagetwo”. Then create a PdfGoToAction instance “action3” using “dest”.
Step 4: Set the action that gets performed after “action3”
script
= "app.alert({"
+ " cMsg: \"Oh sorry, it's the last page. I'm missing!\","
+ " nIcon: 3,"
+ " cTitle: \"JavaScript Action\""
+ "});";
PdfJavaScriptAction action4 = new PdfJavaScriptAction(script);
action3.NextAction = action4;
Step 5: Save the file
document.SaveToFile("result.pdf");

Here comes to the steps:
Step 1: Create a PDF document and a page
//create a pdf document PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument(); //create one page PdfPageBase page = document.Pages.Add();
Step 2: Draw Text
//Draw Text - alignment
PdfFont font = new PdfFont(PdfFontFamily.Helvetica, 20f);
PdfSolidBrush brush = new PdfSolidBrush(Color.FromArgb(10, 0, 255, 0));
PdfStringFormat leftAlignment = new PdfStringFormat(PdfTextAlignment.Left, PdfVerticalAlignment.Middle);
page.Canvas.DrawString("Left!", font, brush, 0, 20, leftAlignment);
page.Canvas.DrawString("Left!", font, brush, 0, 50, leftAlignment);
PdfStringFormat rightAlignment = new PdfStringFormat(PdfTextAlignment.Right, PdfVerticalAlignment.Middle);

Excel Freeze Panes keeps rows and columns visible while the rest of the worksheet scrolls. Likewise, we need to unfreeze Excel panes due to work needs in some cases. This article aims at introducing the solution to unfreeze the Excel top row in c# and VB.NET through a utility Excel .NET library Spire.XLS.
First we need to complete the preparatory work:
- Download the latest Spire.XLS and install it on your machine.
- Add the Spire.XLS.dll files as reference.
- Open bin folder and select the three dll files under .NET 4.0.
- Right click property and select properties in its menu.
- Set the target framework as .NET 4.
- Add Spire.XLS as namespace.
Here comes to the explanation of the C# code:
Step 1: Create an instance of Spire.XLS.Workbook.
Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
Step 2: Load the file base on a specified file path.
workbook.LoadFromFile("sample.xls");
Step 3: Get the first worksheet.
Worksheet sheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];
Step 4: Unfreeze the top row.
sheet.RemovePanes();
Step 5: Save as the generated file.
workbook.SaveToFile("sample.xls",ExcelVersion.Version97to2003);
Please preview the freeze panes effect screenshot:
And the unfreeze panes effect screenshot:
Here is the full code in C# and VB.NET:
using Spire.Xls;
namespace UnfreezeExcelPane
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
workbook.LoadFromFile("Sample.xls");
Worksheet sheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];
sheet.RemovePanes();
workbook.SaveToFile("sample.xls", ExcelVersion.Version97to2003);
}
}
}
Imports Spire.Xls
Namespace UnfreezeExcelPane
Class Program
Private Shared Sub Main(args As String())
Dim workbook As New Workbook()
workbook.LoadFromFile("Sample.xls")
Dim sheet As Worksheet = workbook.Worksheets(0)
sheet.RemovePanes()
workbook.SaveToFile("sample.xls", ExcelVersion.Version97to2003)
End Sub
End Class
End Namespace
Edit/Replace the Content of Word Bookmark with HTML Code
2013-12-26 07:21:59 Written by AdministratorBookmark can locate a range. Assuming the content of the range is some html code, how to change the content of the range. Spire.Doc supports bookmarks. And you can use Spire.Doc to fulfill the job.
In this article, a solution will be introduced. Spire.Doc provides you a method:
public void ReplaceBookmarkContent(TextBodyPart bodyPart)
Replace the content of bookmark with TextBodyPart bodyPart.
This method cannot handle html code directly. Here is what to do. First load the new html code to document. Then select the newly added data as TextBodyPart. At last, call the method to replace the content of the bookmark.
Step 1: Add bookmarks containing html code.
Paragraph p2 = section.AddParagraph();
p2.AppendBookmarkStart("bookmark2");
p2.AppendHTML("<p><font color='blue'>This para is also Generated by Decoding HTML Code</font></p>");
p2.AppendBookmarkEnd("bookmark2");
Step 2: Add new html code to document.
Section tempSection = document.AddSection(); String html = "<p>This Bookmark has been <font color=\"#ff0000\">Edited</font></p>"; tempSection.AddParagraph().AppendHTML(html);
Step 3: Get the new added html as TextBodyPart.
ParagraphBase replacementFirstItem = tempSection.Paragraphs[0].Items.FirstItem as ParagraphBase; ParagraphBase replacementLastItem = tempSection.Paragraphs[tempSection.Paragraphs.Count - 1].Items.LastItem as ParagraphBase; TextBodySelection selection = new TextBodySelection(replacementFirstItem, replacementLastItem); TextBodyPart part = new TextBodyPart(selection);
Step 4: Locate the bookmark "bookmark2" and call the method ReplaceBookmarkContent to replace the content. Then remove the temp section.
BookmarksNavigator bookmarkNavigator = new BookmarksNavigator(document);
//locate the bookmark
bookmarkNavigator.MoveToBookmark("bookmark2");
//replace the content of bookmark
bookmarkNavigator.ReplaceBookmarkContent(part);
//remove temp section
document.Sections.Remove(tempSection);

p1.AppendBookmarkStart("bookmark1");
p1.AppendHTML("<p><span style="color: blue;">This para is also Generated by Decoding HTML Code</span></p>");
p1.AppendBookmarkEnd("bookmark1");
Paragraph p2 = section.AddParagraph();
p2.AppendBookmarkStart("bookmark2");
p2.AppendHTML("<p><span style="color: blue;">This para is also Generated by Decoding HTML Code</span></p>");
p2.AppendBookmarkEnd("bookmark2");
document.SaveToFile("BeforeReplace.doc");
//create a temp section to contain multiple paragraph.
Section tempSection = document.AddSection();
String html = "<p>This Bookmark has been <span>Edited</span></p>";
tempSection.AddParagraph().AppendHTML(html);
ParagraphBase replacementFirstItem = tempSection.Paragraphs[0].Items.FirstItem as ParagraphBase;
ParagraphBase replacementLastItem = tempSection.Paragraphs[tempSection.Paragraphs.Count - 1].Items.LastItem as ParagraphBase;
TextBodySelection selection = new TextBodySelection(replacementFirstItem, replacementLastItem);
TextBodyPart part = new TextBodyPart(selection);
BookmarksNavigator bookmarkNavigator = new BookmarksNavigator(document);
//locate the bookmark
bookmarkNavigator.MoveToBookmark("bookmark2");
//replace the content of bookmark
bookmarkNavigator.ReplaceBookmarkContent(part);
//remove temp section
document.Sections.Remove(tempSection);
document.SaveToFile(@"AfterReplace.doc");
}

Sometimes we need to insert a symbol or special character in the paragraph. The article is introducing the solution to insert a symbol in Word with c# code. We will use Ä and Ë as the symbol examples to complete the process, with the help of a Word .NET API called Spire.Doc.
First we need to complete the preparatory work:
- Download the latest Spire.Doc and install it on your machine.
- Add the Spire.Doc.dll files as reference.
- Open bin folder and select the three dll files under .NET 4.0.
- Right click property and select properties in its menu.
- Set the target framework as .NET 4.
- Add Spire.Doc as namespace.
Here comes to the explanation of the code.
Step 1: Create an instance of Spire.Doc.Document.
Document document = new Document();
Step 2: Add a section.
Section section = document.AddSection();
Step 3: Add a paragraph.
Paragraph paragraph = section.AddParagraph();
Step 4: Use unicode characters to create symbol Ä.
TextRange tr = paragraph.AppendText('\u00c4'.ToString());
In fact, the following step5 and step6 are just the option according to your requirement.
Step 5: Set the color of symbol Ä.
tr.CharacterFormat.TextColor = Color.Red;
Step 6: Add symbol Ë.
paragraph.AppendText('\u00cb'.ToString());
Step 7: Save to Word file.
document.SaveToFile("sample.docx", FileFormat.Docx);
Here is the full code:
using Spire.Doc;
using Spire.Doc.Documents;
using Spire.Doc.Fields;
using System.Drawing;
namespace InsertSymbol
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Document document = new Document();
Section section = document.AddSection();
Paragraph paragraph = section.AddParagraph();
TextRange tr = paragraph.AppendText('\u00c4'.ToString());
tr.CharacterFormat.TextColor = Color.Red;
paragraph.AppendText('\u00cb'.ToString());
document.SaveToFile("sample.docx", FileFormat.Docx);
}
}
}
