Measurements unit problem

[jamin]

Hi,

For cell padding, I noticed that if the source file is set in points (ruler) then if someone sets cell padding with decimal value for example 5.4pt 

Then docio will return TableFormat.Paddings with values ​​of 0.

(checked with other units also having this problem)

Please check the latest version.

Thanks you!

Hi jamin,
We suspect that you are setting paddings for WTableCell.CellFormat.Paddings, but you are trying to check the paddings from the WTable.TableFormat.Paddings. Each cell has its own specific paddings, whereas table paddings can be set for the entire table. If you still encounter any issues, kindly share the code snippet and input document.

Hi Sindhu ,

Please test this file with both methods above. (there is a problem is when I set the value to an integer it works fine).

It seems they both have the same result.

Thanks you!

jamin,
We have reproduced the reported issue: “Default paddings not set properly for table and cell format” on our end. We will validate this issue and provide you with more details within two days.

Jamin,
Upon further analysis of the provided document, we found that the table padding values are not specified inline. In Microsoft Word, the padding values are retrieved based on the table styles. Currently DocIO does not have the support to retrieve the table properties from table style. We have already logged this requirement as a feature, and we don’t have immediate plan to implement this feature.

Hi Sindhu

When I set table padding to 5pt then docio can read (table.padding return 5). but then when I change it back to 5.4pt then docio returns 0 (a bit strange)

.

Anyway setting the value to an integer is the alternative solution right now.

Thanks you!

Jamin,
If you set the padding value programmatically using DocIO, such as

doc.LastSection.Tables[0].TableFormat.Paddings.Left = 5.4f;

This value will be written to the file. When you parse the saved file, DocIO will preserve the padding values because they are stored at the file level.

However, when 5.4pt is set in Microsoft word, it is the default padding for tables, and in this case, it is applied based on the table style. Any padding value other than 5.4pt, whether an integer or a float, will be preserved in DocIO. Since DocIO only works with file-level information, default padding values applied via table styles are not retrieved or preserved, resulting in a value of 0.

In Microsoft Word, the padding values are retrieved based on the table styles. Currently DocIO does not have the support to retrieve the table properties from table style. We have already logged this requirement as a feature, and we don’t have immediate plan to implement this feature.
