I am generating a word document using C# and Open XML SDK. I want to change the orientation of some paragraphs and their containing pages to landscape while keeping the other ones in portrait orientation.
I tried some solutions, but they didn't achieve what I am looking for and instead the orientation of all the pages have been changed to landscape except the first one. These solutions include:
- Adding SectionProperties to the paragraph that I want to change
its orientation to landscape:
WordprocessingDocument WordDocument = WordprocessingDocument.Open(ReportFile, true)
Paragraph paragraph = new Paragraph(new ParagraphProperties(
new SectionProperties( new PageSize()
{ Width = (UInt32Value)15840U, Height = (UInt32Value)12240U, Orient = PageOrientationValues.Landscape })));
WordDocument.MainDocumentPart.Document.Body.Append(paragraph);
- Adding a new Body to the main document and appending the paragraph to it:
WordprocessingDocument WordDocument = WordprocessingDocument.Open(ReportFile, true)
Body body = new Body();
Paragraph paragraph = new Paragraph(new ParagraphProperties(
new SectionProperties( new PageSize()
{ Width = (UInt32Value)15840U, Height = (UInt32Value)12240U, Orient = PageOrientationValues.Landscape })));
body.Append(paragraph);
WordDocument.MainDocumentPart.Document.Append(body);
- Adding a new Body to the main document and appending SectionProprties to it directly:
WordprocessingDocument WordDocument = WordprocessingDocument.Open(ReportFile, true)
Body body = new Body();
Paragraph paragraph = new Paragraph();
SectionProperties sectionProp = new SectionProperties(new PageSize() { Width = (UInt32Value)15840U, Height = (UInt32Value)12240U, Orient = PageOrientationValues.Landscape });
body.Append(paragraph);
body.Append(sectionProp);
WordDocument.MainDocumentPart.Document.Append(body);
So, is there a way for changing the orientation of a single paragraph/page?
You have to put a next page section break to begin a new section, and set the orientation for that section. Once you are done, start a new section with the default page orientation.
Next page Section Break to start landscape orientation:
doc.MainDocumentPart.Document.Body.Append(
new Paragraph(
new ParagraphProperties(
new SectionProperties(
new PageSize() { Width = (UInt32Value)12240U, Height = (UInt32Value)15840U, Orient = PageOrientationValues.Landscape },
new PageMargin() { Top = 720, Right = Convert.ToUInt32(rightmargin * 1440.0), Bottom = 360, Left = Convert.ToUInt32(leftmargin * 1440.0), Header = (UInt32Value)450U, Footer = (UInt32Value)720U, Gutter = (UInt32Value)0U }))));
Next page Section Break to start portrait orientation:
doc.MainDocumentPart.Document.Body.Append(
new Paragraph(
new ParagraphProperties(
new SectionProperties(
new PageSize() { Width = (UInt32Value)12240U, Height = (UInt32Value)15840U },
new PageMargin() { Top = 720, Right = Convert.ToUInt32(rightmargin * 1440.0), Bottom = 360, Left = Convert.ToUInt32(leftmargin * 1440.0), Header = (UInt32Value)450U, Footer = (UInt32Value)720U, Gutter = (UInt32Value)0U }))));
Based upon the above conversation and my understanding, the code might look something like below.
In Main method calling sub methods:
using (WordprocessingDocument package = WordprocessingDocument.Create(filePath, WordprocessingDocumentType.Document))
{
package.AddMainDocumentPart();
package.MainDocumentPart.Document = new Document();
Body body = package.MainDocumentPart.Document.Body = new Body();
Paragraph para1 = CreatePara1(); // Paragraph 1 Portrait
Paragraph breakBefore = CreateBreakBefore(); // Break before next paragraph that would be landscape
Paragraph para2 = CreatePara2(); // Paragraph 2 Landscape
Paragraph breakAfter = CreateBreakAfter(); // Break after previous paragraph that was landscape
Paragraph para3 = CreatePara3(); // Paragraph 3 Portrait again
body.Append(para1);
body.Append(breakBefore);
body.Append(para2);
body.Append(breakAfter);
body.Append(para3);
}
Follows sub methods:
private static Paragraph CreatePara1()
{
Paragraph para1 = new Paragraph();
Run run1 = new Run(new Text("This is Paragraph one."));
para1.Append(run1);
return para1;
}
private static Paragraph CreateBreakBefore()
{
Paragraph paragraph2 = new Paragraph() { RsidParagraphAddition = "00BA2F0F", RsidParagraphProperties = "00BA2F0F", RsidRunAdditionDefault = "00BA2F0F" };
ParagraphProperties paragraphProperties1 = new ParagraphProperties();
SectionProperties sectionProperties1 = new SectionProperties() { RsidR = "00BA2F0F" };
PageSize pageSize1 = new PageSize() { Width = (UInt32Value)12240U, Height = (UInt32Value)15840U };
PageMargin pageMargin1 = new PageMargin() { Top = 1440, Right = (UInt32Value)1440U, Bottom = 1440, Left = (UInt32Value)1440U, Header = (UInt32Value)720U, Footer = (UInt32Value)720U, Gutter = (UInt32Value)0U };
Columns columns1 = new Columns() { Space = "720" };
DocGrid docGrid1 = new DocGrid() { LinePitch = 360 };
sectionProperties1.Append(pageSize1);
sectionProperties1.Append(pageMargin1);
sectionProperties1.Append(columns1);
sectionProperties1.Append(docGrid1);
paragraphProperties1.Append(sectionProperties1);
paragraph2.Append(paragraphProperties1);
return paragraph2;
}
private static Paragraph CreatePara2()
{
Paragraph para2 = new Paragraph() { RsidParagraphAddition = "00BA2F0F", RsidParagraphProperties = "00BA2F0F", RsidRunAdditionDefault = "00BA2F0F" };
BookmarkStart bookmarkStart1 = new BookmarkStart() { Name = "_GoBack", Id = "0" };
Run run2 = new Run();
LastRenderedPageBreak lastRenderedPageBreak1 = new LastRenderedPageBreak();
Text text2 = new Text();
text2.Text = "This is the paragraph two";
run2.Append(lastRenderedPageBreak1);
run2.Append(text2);
para2.Append(bookmarkStart1);
para2.Append(run2);
BookmarkEnd bookmarkEnd1 = new BookmarkEnd() { Id = "0" };
return para2;
}
private static Paragraph CreateBreakAfter()
{
Paragraph paragraph4 = new Paragraph() { RsidParagraphAddition = "00BA2F0F", RsidParagraphProperties = "00BA2F0F", RsidRunAdditionDefault = "00BA2F0F" };
ParagraphProperties paragraphProperties2 = new ParagraphProperties();
SectionProperties sectionProperties2 = new SectionProperties() { RsidR = "00BA2F0F", RsidSect = "00BA2F0F" };
PageSize pageSize2 = new PageSize() { Width = (UInt32Value)15840U, Height = (UInt32Value)12240U, Orient = PageOrientationValues.Landscape };
PageMargin pageMargin2 = new PageMargin() { Top = 1440, Right = (UInt32Value)1440U, Bottom = 1440, Left = (UInt32Value)1440U, Header = (UInt32Value)720U, Footer = (UInt32Value)720U, Gutter = (UInt32Value)0U };
Columns columns2 = new Columns() { Space = "720" };
DocGrid docGrid2 = new DocGrid() { LinePitch = 360 };
sectionProperties2.Append(pageSize2);
sectionProperties2.Append(pageMargin2);
sectionProperties2.Append(columns2);
sectionProperties2.Append(docGrid2);
paragraphProperties2.Append(sectionProperties2);
paragraph4.Append(paragraphProperties2);
return paragraph4;
}
private static Paragraph CreatePara3()
{
Paragraph para3 = new Paragraph();
Run run3 = new Run(new Text("This is Paragraph three."));
para3.Append(run3);
return para3;
