How is it possible to apply "No Paragraph Space" option to a Word document in ASP.NET WebForms?
Microsoft Word let the user to apply “No Paragraph Space” option to the entire Word document. The same could be achieved using DocIO also. The “No Paragraph Space” option should have the following properties along with it.
Property Name | Value |
Before Spacing | 0 |
After Spacing | 0 |
Line Spacing | Single |
In Microsoft Word you shall find this option from below location.
Go to Design Ribbon -> Click down arrow of “Paragraph Spacing” under “Document Formatting” -> click “No Paragraph Space”. When you choose this option, the above properties will be applied to the “Normal” style and it will be reflected on the paragraphs which are applied with “Normal” style. You shall achieve same using DocIO by applying above property to the “Normal” style.
Please refer the below screen shot to set “No Paragraph Space” option in Microsoft Word:
Limitations:
If the any paragraphs are applied with any direct formatting, then that will be considered rather that the definitions from “Normal” style, according to Microsoft Word document specification.
Kindly use the below code to set “No Paragraph Space” option to the Normal style using DocIO.
C#:
//Loading Word document
WordDocument document = new WordDocument("filename.docx");//Gets the normal style which is base of other styles
WParagraphStyle style = document.Styles.FindByName("Normal") as WParagraphStyle;
//Sets before spacing value
style.ParagraphFormat.BeforeSpacing = 0;
//Sets after spacing value
style.ParagraphFormat.AfterSpacing = 0;
//The below two lines of code sets line spacing single. The line spacing rule "Multiple" with value 12 sets the line spacing "Single"
style.ParagraphFormat.LineSpacingRule = Syncfusion.DocIO.LineSpacingRule.Multiple;
style.ParagraphFormat.LineSpacing = 12;
//Saves the Word document
document.Save("filename.docx");
VB:
Dim document As New WordDocument("filename.docx")'Gets the normal style which is base of other styles
Dim style As WParagraphStyle = TryCast(document.Styles.FindByName("Normal"), WParagraphStyle)
'Sets before spacing value
style.ParagraphFormat.BeforeSpacing = 0
'Sets after spacing value
style.ParagraphFormat.AfterSpacing = 0
'The below two lines of code sets line spacing single. The line spacing rule "Multiple" with value 12 sets the line spacing "Single"
style.ParagraphFormat.LineSpacingRule = Syncfusion.DocIO.LineSpacingRule.Multiple
style.ParagraphFormat.LineSpacing = 12'Saves the Word document
document.Save("filename.docx");
