Create a Simple Table in Word
Below are some of the core classes and methods provided by Spire.Doc for .NET for creating and formatting tables in Word.
| Name | Description |
| Table Class | Represents a table in a Word document. |
| TableRow Class | Represents a row in a table. |
| TableCell Class | Represents a specific cell in a table. |

The detailed steps are as follows
- Create a Document object and add a section to it.
- Prepare the data for the header row and other rows, storing them in a one-dimensional string array and a two-dimensional string array respectively.
- Add a table to the section using Section.AddTable() method.
- Insert data to the header row, and set the row formatting, including row height, background color, and text alignment.
- Insert data to the rest of the rows and apply formatting to these rows.
- Save the document to another file using Document.SaveToFile() method.

};
//Add a table
Table table = s.AddTable(true);
table.ResetCells(data.Length + 1, Header.Length);
//Set the first row as table header
TableRow FRow = table.Rows[0];
FRow.IsHeader = true;
//Set the height and color of the first row
FRow.Height = 23;
FRow.Cells[i].CellFormat.Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = Color.LightSeaGreen;
for (int i = 0; i < Header.Length; i++)
{
//Set alignment for cells
Paragraph p = FRow.Cells[i].AddParagraph();
FRow.Cells[i].CellFormat.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Middle;
p.Format.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center;
//Set data format
TextRange TR = p.AppendText(Header[i]);
TR.CharacterFormat.FontName = "Calibri";
TR.CharacterFormat.FontSize = 12;
TR.CharacterFormat.Bold = true;
}
//Add data to the rest of rows and set cell format
for (int r = 0; r < data.Length; r++)
{
TableRow DataRow = table.Rows[r + 1];
DataRow.Height = 20;
for (int c = 0; c < data[r].Length; c++)
{
DataRow.Cells[c].CellFormat.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Middle;
Paragraph p2 = DataRow.Cells[c].AddParagraph();
TextRange TR2 = p2.AppendText(data[r][c]);
p2.Format.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center;
//Set data format
TR2.CharacterFormat.FontName = "Calibri";
TR2.CharacterFormat.FontSize = 11;
}
}
//Save the document
doc.SaveToFile("WordTable.docx", FileFormat.Docx2013);

In Word documents, indentation is a paragraph format used to adjust the distance between paragraph body and page margin. It includes left indent, right indent, first line indent and hanging indent. Left indent and right indent can be applied to all lines of a paragraph, while first line indent can only be applied to first line of a paragraph. As for the hanging indent, it can be applied to every line of the paragraph except the first one. This article introduces how to programmatically set paragraph indents in a Word document 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.

| ParagraphFormat.LeftIndent Property | Returns or sets the value that represents the left indent for paragraph. |
| ParagraphFormat.RightIndent Property | Returns or sets the value that represents the right indent for paragraph. |
| ParagraphFormat.FirstLineIndent Property | Gets or sets the value for first line or hanging indent. Positive value represents first-line indent, and Negative value represents hanging indent. |
The detailed steps are as follows:
- Create a Document instance.
- Load a sample Word document using Document.LoadFromFile() method.
- Get a specified section using Document.Sections[] property.
- Get a specified paragraph using Section.Paragraphs[] property.
- Get the paragraph format using Paragraph.Format property, and then set the paragraph indent using the above listed properties of ParagraphFormat class.
- Save the document to another file using Document.SaveToFile() method.
- C#
- VB.NET
using Spire.Doc;
using Spire.Doc.Documents;
namespace WordIndent
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//Create a Document instance
Document doc = new Document();
//Load a sample Word document
doc.LoadFromFile("sample.docx");
//Get the first paragraph and set left indent
Paragraph para1 = doc.Sections[0].Paragraphs[0];
para1.Format.LeftIndent = 30;
//Get the second paragraph and set right indent
Paragraph para2 = doc.Sections[0].Paragraphs[1];
para2.Format.RightIndent = 30;
//Get the third paragraph and set first line indent
Paragraph para3 = doc.Sections[0].Paragraphs[2];
para3.Format.FirstLineIndent = 30;
//Get the fourth paragraph and set hanging indent
Paragraph para4 = doc.Sections[0].Paragraphs[3];
para4.Format.FirstLineIndent = -30;
//Save the document to file
