Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry.
Please refer to the following code to set up a repeating header. If you have any other questions, please feel free to write back.

Code: Select all

// Create a Document object
Document doc = new Document();
// Add a section
Section sec = doc.AddSection();
// Add a table
Table table = sec.AddTable(true);
table.ResetCells(3, 3);
// Get first row as head
TableRow head = table.Rows[0];
// Repeat head
head.IsHeader = true;
// Add content
Paragraph paragraph = head.Cells[0].AddParagraph();
TextRange textRange = paragraph.AppendText("hello");
doc.SaveToFile("res.docx",FileFormat.Docx2016);

hi,
i tried beginning from a table altready existing in a template, but not working.
this is my code.

Code: Select all

public void test()
{
    Spire.Doc.Document document = new Spire.Doc.Document();
    document.LoadFromFile(@"\template.docx");

    foreach (Spire.Doc.Section section in document.Sections)
    {
        foreach (Spire.Doc.Table table in section.Tables)
        {                   
            Spire.Doc.TableRow row_head = table.Rows[0];
            Spire.Doc.TableRow row_base = table.Rows[table.Rows.Count - 1];//.Clone();

            table.Rows[0].IsHeader = true;

            for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
            {
                table.Rows.Insert(table.Rows.Count, row_base.Clone());
            } 
        }
    }

    document.SaveToFile(@"\tmp\template.docx");
}

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.
I simulated a document and tested the code you provided with our latest Spire.Doc for Java version: 12.6.2. It can achieve the effect of repeating the header. I have uploaded my test files and results files for your reference. Did you test it with the latest version? If not, please upgrade to the latest version for testing. If it still doesn't work, please provide us with your input file to help us further investigate. Thanks in advance.

hi,
ok, only first row may be header?


thank you

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.
Kindly note that you can select multiple rows as table headers, but it must start from the first row. For example, if you want to use the first two rows as table headers, you can use the following code.

Code: Select all

table.Rows[0].IsHeader = true;
table.Rows[1].IsHeader = true;

yes,
i tried with your example and working, also with 2 rows header.
but, with my template, not. what is wrong?

Code: Select all

public void test()
{
    Spire.Doc.Document document = new Spire.Doc.Document();
    document.LoadFromFile(@"template_2 - Copia (4).docx");

    foreach (Spire.Doc.Section section in document.Sections)
    {
        foreach (Spire.Doc.Table table in section.Tables)
        {
            Spire.Doc.TableRow row_head = table.Rows[0];
            Spire.Doc.TableRow row_base = table.Rows[table.Rows.Count - 1];//.Clone();

            //row_head.IsHeader = true;
            //row_base.IsHeader = true;
            table.Rows[0].IsHeader = true;
            table.Rows[1].IsHeader = true;
            //table.Rows[2].IsHeader = true;

            for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
            {
                table.Rows.Insert(table.Rows.Count, row_base.Clone());
            }
        }
    }

    document.SaveToFile(@"test.docx");
}

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.
Because the first three rows of your original Word document are set as headers, as shown in the screenshot below. The rows you clone later will retain the format of the third row. In order to achieve the effect of repeating the header, you need to cancel the header setting of the third row. The following is the modified code. If you have other questions, please feel free to write back.

Code: Select all

Spire.Doc.TableRow row_base = table.Rows[table.Rows.Count - 1];//.Clone();
// Added code
row_base.IsHeader = false;
table.Rows[0].IsHeader = true;
table.Rows[1].IsHeader = true;

for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
    table.Rows.Insert(table.Rows.Count, row_base.Clone());
}
