| Post subject: | Paragraph on the left, table on the right? |
I am trying to create a report, which requires me that there is a paragraph (5 lines) on the left, and a table that is next to that paragraph. Is that possible using: paragraph = section.Headers.Primary.AddParagraph(); (and) table = section.Headers.Primary.AddTable(); and to reposition the table (how?), or do i have to create a nested table for that, with in the first column the paragraph and in the second column the nested table? Bah, nested tables is not possible.. |

I think that nested tables are the best solution with respect to automatic layout. You could use a textframe for the paragraph and a normal table. Or you could put the table into a textframe and use a normal paragraph. Textframes work fine if you know the size of their contents. If you know there are always 5 (or less) lines of text in the paragraph, then a textframe for the paragraph will work just fine. You could encounter problems with a text of variable length however because you have to specify the size of the textframe. To avoid overlap between textframe and table, you have to position the table accordingly. |

Hi Thomas, Thank you for your fast reply, this really helps a lot. Is there a way to position the table on the document? I have searched for it but i could not find a "left" or "top" position. I ask this because the textframe has a left and so on property, but i can't position the table "next" to it, can i? |

P.s. how do you create a nested table? I don't see a "row.Cells[0].addTable()" command... |

I fixed it using: table = section.Headers.Primary.AddTable(); column = table.AddColumn("18.5cm"); column = table.AddColumn("8cm"); row = table.AddRow(); ... paragraph = row.Cells[0].AddParagraph(); ... TextFrame textframe = row.Cells[1].AddTextFrame(); table = textframe.AddTable(); ... etc. |
