Anchored TextBox

[markeye3]

Hi,
I'd like to create an anchored TextBox that stays at the bottom of the last page. I can accomplish this using Word by inserting a TextBox and setting the layout options as seen in the attached LayoutOptions.png. Also attached is an example Word document showing the functionality I'm looking for.
Is there a way I can accomplish this using Spire?
Thanks,
Mark

Hello Mark,

Thanks for your inquiry and sorry for the late reply as weekend.
Concerning your need, here is the sample code for your kind reference:

Code: Select all

Document doc = new Spire.Doc.Document();
            Spire.Doc.Section section = doc.AddSection();
            Spire.Doc.Documents.Paragraph p = section.AddParagraph();
            p.Text = "The below textbox at the should stay at the bottom of the last page.";
            Spire.Doc.Fields.TextBox tb= p.AppendTextBox(400, 30);
            tb.Body.AddParagraph().Text = "The below textbox at the should stay at the bottom of the last page.";
            tb.Format.HorizontalAlignment = ShapeHorizontalAlignment.Center;
            tb.Format.VerticalAlignment = ShapeVerticalAlignment.Bottom;
            //give a certain position
            //tb.Format.VerticalPosition = 700;
            //tb.Format.HorizontalPosition = 50;
            tb.Format.HorizontalOrigin = Spire.Doc.Documents.HorizontalOrigin.Margin;
            tb.Format.VerticalOrigin = Spire.Doc.Documents.VerticalOrigin.Page;
            tb.Format.TextWrappingType=Spire.Doc.Documents.TextWrappingType.Both;
            tb.Format.TextWrappingStyle=Spire.Doc.Documents.TextWrappingStyle.Square;
            doc.SaveToFile("result.docx");

Hi Jane,
Thanks for the reply.
I had gotten the TextBox created working well in the Docx, the only problem now is doesn't export to Pdf quite right. I believe one of the issues maybe related to the use of IsFitShapeToText.
Here is my code:

Code: Select all

using (Document doc = new Document())
         {
            doc.CreateMinialDocument();
            Section section = doc.Sections[0];
            Paragraph paragraph = section.Paragraphs[0];
            paragraph.AppendText("The below textbox at the should stay at the bottom of the last page.");
            paragraph = section.AddParagraph();
            TextBox tb = paragraph.AppendTextBox(section.PageSetup.ClientWidth, section.PageSetup.ClientHeight);
            paragraph = tb.Body.AddParagraph();
            paragraph.AppendText("This textbox at the should stay at the bottom of the last page. This textbox at the should stay at the bottom of the last page. This textbox at the should stay at the bottom of the last page. This textbox at the should stay at the bottom of the last page.");
            tb.Format.IsFitShapeToText = true;
            tb.Format.TextWrappingStyle = TextWrappingStyle.Square;
            tb.Format.TextWrappingType = TextWrappingType.Both;
            tb.Format.HorizontalAlignment = ShapeHorizontalAlignment.Center;
            tb.Format.HorizontalOrigin = HorizontalOrigin.Column;
            tb.Format.VerticalAlignment = ShapeVerticalAlignment.Bottom;
            tb.Format.VerticalOrigin = VerticalOrigin.Margin;
            doc.SaveToFile(Path.Combine(Path.GetTempPath(), "TextBoxTest.docx"), FileFormat.Docx2013);
            ToPdfParameterList toPdf = new ToPdfParameterList() { CreateWordBookmarks = true };
            doc.SaveToFile(Path.Combine(Path.GetTempPath(), "TextBoxTest.pdf"), toPdf);
         }

Thanks,
Mark
