Post subject:  Get text of a Paragraph
Hi there,
I'm trying to get the text set in a paragraph. I set the text this way:

Code:
parContent = cellContent.AddParagraph("Project manager:")


and I'm looking for a property like:

Code:
parContent.text


or something that returns me "Project manager:".

Thank you!

Hi!
In this code snippet, row is a table row:
Code:
Paragraph p = row.Cells[cell].Elements[idxElement] as Paragraph;
if (p != null && p.Elements.Count > 0)
{
    Text t = p.Elements.First as Text;
    if (t != null)
    {
        return t;
    }
}

Elements can contain other objects (e.g. FormattedText).
If you only call "AddParagraph(string)" and only once for each cell, then the code above will work (set idxElement to 0).

Hey, I'm sorry, I didn't realize that "cellContent" was in my snippet and that's why I didn't clarify where does actually come from, and you had to figure it out.

Anyway, your snippet works for me. I just added a

Code:
t.Content


to get the string. One more question, will it be the same if instead of adding the paragraph to a table cell I add it to a document section and with a predefined style? Like:

Code:
paragraphDesc = section.AddParagraph("Project description", "MyHeading2")


Where section is a Section of the Document. And "MyHeading2" an already definded style.

Thank you very much.

Section or Cell - both have member Elements with the Paragraphs etc.
