Hi Customer,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.

You can use any of the following way to achieve your requirement.

1. Find and Replace:
You can insert placeholder for example “{empty line}” in input Word document and using Find and Replace can replace that placeholder text with table.

Please find the code snippets which illustrates the same, and let us know if this helps you. 

// Loads the template document. 

WordDocument wordDocument = new WordDocument("Template.docx"); 

// Initializes a new instance of the WTable class with the specified WordDocument instance. 

WTable wTable = new WTable(wordDocument); 

// Resets the table with the specified number of rows and columns. 

wTable.ResetCells(1,2); 

// Add paragraph and text to the table Cell. 

wTable.Rows[0].Cells[0].AddParagraph().AppendText("First Cell"); 

wTable.Rows[0].Cells[1].AddParagraph().AppendText("Last Cell"); 

// Initializes text body part 

TextBodyPart textBodyPart = new TextBodyPart(wordDocument); 

// Adds a table into Text Body Part 

textBodyPart.BodyItems.Add(wTable); 

// Replaces a text with the text body part 

wordDocument.Replace("{empty line}", textBodyPart, true, true); 

// Saves and closes the document 

wordDocument.Save("Sample.docx"); 

wordDocument.Close(); 

Please refer the UG link to know more about working with find and replace using DocIO.

2. Iterating through Word document elements:
Iterating through Word document elements also can remove the empty line and insert table into same position of that empty line in Word document.

Please find the code snippets which illustrates the same, and let us know if this helps you. 

// Loads the template document. 

WordDocument wordDocument = new WordDocument("TemplateWithEmptyLine.docx"); 

 

// Initializes a new instance of the WTable class with the specified WordDocument instance. 

WTable wTable = new WTable(wordDocument); 

// Resets the table with the specified number of rows and columns. 

wTable.ResetCells(1, 2); 

// Add paragraph and text to the table Cell. 

wTable.Rows[0].Cells[0].AddParagraph().AppendText("First Cell"); 

wTable.Rows[0].Cells[1].AddParagraph().AppendText("Last Cell"); 

 

// Accesses the Body of section where all the contents in document are apart. 

WTextBody wTextBody = wordDocument.LastSection.Body; 

int index = 0; 

// Iterates through each of the child items of WTextBody and checks for empty line. 

foreach (Entity entity in wTextBody.ChildEntities) 

    if (entity.EntityType == EntityType.Paragraph && (entity as WParagraph).Text == string.Empty 

        && entity.PreviousSibling is WParagraph && (entity.PreviousSibling as WParagraph).Text == "Text") 

    { 

        index = wTextBody.ChildEntities.IndexOf(entity); 

        break; 

    } 

// Removes in between paragraph which contains empty line from Word document. 

wTextBody.ChildEntities.RemoveAt(index); 

// Insert table into index of empty line. 

wTextBody.ChildEntities.Insert(index, wTable); 

 

//Saves and closes the document 

wordDocument.Save("Sample.docx"); 

wordDocument.Close(); 

Please refer the UG link to know more about working with iteration through Word document elements using DocIO.

Note: Please find the template Word documents from Template.docx and TemplateWithEmptyLine.docx.

If we misunderstand your requirement then, kindly update us requirement with clear description along with Input document used (if any) and screenshot/output Word document of the expected result which will helpful to provide you the appropriate solution at the earliest.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.
