public class Table
Table is a block-level node and can be a child of classes derived from Story or
InlineStory. Table can contain one or more Row nodes. A minimal valid table needs to have at least one Row. Example: Example: Example: Example: Example: Example:

To append Table to the document use InsertAfter or InsertBefore on the story where you want the table inserted.
doc
- The owner document.Example:
Shows how to build a nested table without using DocumentBuilder.public void nestedTablesUsingNodeConstructors() throws Exception { Document doc = new Document(); // Create the outer table with three rows and four columns. Table outerTable = createTable(doc, 3, 4, "Outer Table"); // Add it to the document body. doc.getFirstSection().getBody().appendChild(outerTable); // Create another table with two rows and two columns. Table innerTable = createTable(doc, 2, 2, "Inner Table"); // Add this table to the first cell of the outer table. outerTable.getFirstRow().getFirstCell().appendChild(innerTable); doc.save(getMyDir() + "Table.CreateNestedTable Out.doc"); } /** *Creates a new table in the document with the given dimensions and text in each cell. */ private Table createTable(Document doc, int rowCount, int cellCount, String cellText) { Table table = new Table(doc); // Create the specified number of rows. for (int rowId = 1; rowId <= rowCount; rowId++) { Row row = new Row(doc); table.appendChild(row); // Create the specified number of cells for each row. for (int cellId = 1; cellId <= cellCount; cellId++) { Cell cell = new Cell(doc); row.appendChild(cell); // Add a blank paragraph to the cell. cell.appendChild(new Paragraph(doc)); // Add the text. cell.getFirstParagraph().appendChild(new Run(doc, cellText)); } } return table; }

The default value is
Example:
Shows how to apply a outline border to a table.Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Table.EmptyTable.doc"); Table table = (Table)doc.getChild(NodeType.TABLE, 0, true); // Align the table to the center of the page. table.setAlignment(TableAlignment.CENTER); // Clear any existing borders from the table. table.clearBorders(); // Set a green border around the table but not inside. table.setBorder(BorderType.LEFT, LineStyle.SINGLE, 1.5, Color.GREEN, true); table.setBorder(BorderType.RIGHT, LineStyle.SINGLE, 1.5, Color.GREEN, true); table.setBorder(BorderType.TOP, LineStyle.SINGLE, 1.5, Color.GREEN, true); table.setBorder(BorderType.BOTTOM, LineStyle.SINGLE, 1.5, Color.GREEN, true); // Fill the cells with a light green solid color. table.setShading(TextureIndex.TEXTURE_SOLID, Color.GREEN, Color.GREEN); doc.save(getMyDir() + "Table.SetOutlineBorders Out.doc");
getAllowAutoFit/setAllowAutoFit | |
public boolean getAllowAutoFit() / public void setAllowAutoFit(boolean value) |

Example:
Shows how to create a table that contains a single cell and apply row formatting.Document doc = new Document(); DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc); Table table = builder.startTable(); builder.insertCell(); // Set the row formatting RowFormat rowFormat = builder.getRowFormat(); rowFormat.setHeight(100); rowFormat.setHeightRule(HeightRule.EXACTLY); // These formatting properties are set on the table and are applied to all rows in the table. table.setLeftPadding(30); table.setRightPadding(30); table.setTopPadding(30); table.setBottomPadding(30); builder.writeln("I'm a wonderful formatted row."); builder.endRow(); builder.endTable();
getCellSpacing/setCellSpacing | |
public double getCellSpacing() / public void setCellSpacing(double value) |
getChildNodes | → inherited from CompositeNode |
public NodeCollection getChildNodes() |
Note, GetChildNodes(NodeType.Any, false)
and creates and returns a new collection every time it is accessed.
If there are no child nodes, this property returns an empty collection.
Example:
Shows how to enumerate immediate children of a CompositeNode using the enumerator provided by the ChildNodes collection.NodeCollection children = paragraph.getChildNodes(); for (Node child : (Iterable<Node>) children) { // Paragraph may contain children of various types such as runs, shapes and so on. if (child.getNodeType() == NodeType.RUN) { // Say we found the node that we want, do something useful. Run run = (Run)child; System.out.println(run.getText()); } }
getCount | → inherited from CompositeNode |
public int getCount() |
getDocument | → inherited from Node |
public DocumentBase getDocument() |
The node always belongs to a document even if it has just been created and not yet added to the tree, or if it has been removed from the tree.
Example:
Shows that when you create any node, it requires a document that will own the node.// Open a file from disk. Document doc = new Document(); // Creating a new node of any type requires a document passed into the constructor. Paragraph para = new Paragraph(doc); // The new paragraph node does not yet have a parent. System.out.println("Paragraph has no parent node: " + (para.getParentNode() == null)); // But the paragraph node knows its document. System.out.println("Both nodes' documents are the same: " + (para.getDocument() == doc)); // The fact that a node always belongs to a document allows us to access and modify // properties that reference the document-wide data such as styles or lists. para.getParagraphFormat().setStyleName("Heading 1"); // Now add the paragraph to the main text of the first section. doc.getFirstSection().getBody().appendChild(para); // The paragraph node is now a child of the Body node. System.out.println("Paragraph has a parent node: " + (para.getParentNode() != null));
getFirstChild | → inherited from CompositeNode |
public Node getFirstChild() |
Example:
Shows how to enumerate immediate child nodes of a composite node using NextSibling. In this example we enumerate all paragraphs of a section body.// Get the section that we want to work on. Section section = doc.getSections().get(0); Body body = section.getBody(); // Loop starting from the first child until we reach null. for (Node node = body.getFirstChild(); node != null; node = node.getNextSibling()) { // Output the types of the nodes that we come across. System.out.println(Node.nodeTypeToString(node.getNodeType())); }
Example:
Shows how to efficiently visit all direct and indirect children of a composite node.public void recurseAllNodes() throws Exception { // Open a document. Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Node.RecurseAllNodes.doc"); // Invoke the recursive function that will walk the tree. traverseAllNodes(doc); } /** * A simple function that will walk through all children of a specified node recursively * and print the type of each node to the screen. */ public void traverseAllNodes(CompositeNode parentNode) throws Exception { // This is the most efficient way to loop through immediate children of a node. for (Node childNode = parentNode.getFirstChild(); childNode != null; childNode = childNode.getNextSibling()) { // Do some useful work. System.out.println(Node.nodeTypeToString(childNode.getNodeType())); // Recurse into the node if it is a composite node. if (childNode.isComposite()) traverseAllNodes((CompositeNode)childNode); } }
getFirstRow | |
public Row getFirstRow() |
Example:
Demonstrates how to use typed properties to access nodes of the document tree.// Quick typed access to the first child Section node of the Document. Section section = doc.getFirstSection(); // Quick typed access to the Body child node of the Section. Body body = section.getBody(); // Quick typed access to all Table child nodes contained in the Body. TableCollection tables = body.getTables(); for (Table table : tables) { // Quick typed access to the first row of the table. if (table.getFirstRow() != null) table.getFirstRow().remove(); // Quick typed access to the last row of the table. if (table.getLastRow() != null) table.getLastRow().remove(); }
Example:
Shows how to combine the rows from two tables into one.// Load the document. Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Table.Document.doc"); // Get the first and second table in the document. // The rows from the second table will be appended to the end of the first table. Table firstTable = (Table)doc.getChild(NodeType.TABLE, 0, true); Table secondTable = (Table)doc.getChild(NodeType.TABLE, 1, true); // Append all rows from the current table to the next. // Due to the design of tables even tables with different cell count and widths can be joined into one table. while (secondTable.hasChildNodes()) firstTable.getRows().add(secondTable.getFirstRow()); // Remove the empty table container. secondTable.remove(); doc.save(getMyDir() + "Table.CombineTables Out.doc");

public boolean hasChildNodes() |
Example:
Demonstrates how to use the InsertDocument method to insert a document into a merge field during mail merge.public void insertDocumentAtMailMerge() throws Exception { // Open the main document. Document mainDoc = new Document(getMyDir() + "InsertDocument1.doc"); // Add a handler to MergeField event mainDoc.getMailMerge().setFieldMergingCallback(new InsertDocumentAtMailMergeHandler()); // The main document has a merge field in it called "Document_1". // The corresponding data for this field contains fully qualified path to the document // that should be inserted to this field. mainDoc.getMailMerge().execute( new String[] { "Document_1" }, new String[] { getMyDir() + "InsertDocument2.doc" }); mainDoc.save(getMyDir() + "InsertDocumentAtMailMerge Out.doc"); } private class InsertDocumentAtMailMergeHandler implements IFieldMergingCallback { /** * This handler makes special processing for the "Document_1" field. * The field value contains the path to load the document. * We load the document and insert it into the current merge field. */ public void fieldMerging(FieldMergingArgs e) throws Exception { if ("Document_1".equals(e.getDocumentFieldName())) { // Use document builder to navigate to the merge field with the specified name. DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(e.getDocument()); builder.moveToMergeField(e.getDocumentFieldName()); // The name of the document to load and insert is stored in the field value.

isComposite | → inherited from CompositeNode |
public boolean isComposite() |
Example:
Shows how to efficiently visit all direct and indirect children of a composite node.public void recurseAllNodes() throws Exception { // Open a document. Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Node.RecurseAllNodes.doc"); // Invoke the recursive function that will walk the tree. traverseAllNodes(doc); } /** * A simple function that will walk through all children of a specified node recursively * and print the type of each node to the screen. */ public void traverseAllNodes(CompositeNode parentNode) throws Exception { // This is the most efficient way to loop through immediate children of a node. for (Node childNode = parentNode.getFirstChild(); childNode != null; childNode = childNode.getNextSibling()) { // Do some useful work.

getLastChild | → inherited from CompositeNode |
public Node getLastChild() |
Example:
Demonstrates use of methods of Node and CompositeNode to remove a section before the last section in the document.// Document is a CompositeNode and LastChild returns the last child node in the Document node. // Since the Document can contain only Section nodes, the last child is the last section. Node lastSection = doc.getLastChild(); // Each node knows its next and previous sibling nodes. // Previous sibling of a section is a section before the specified section. // If the node is the first child, PreviousSibling will return null. Node sectionBeforeLast = lastSection.getPreviousSibling(); if (sectionBeforeLast != null) doc.removeChild(sectionBeforeLast);

public Row getLastRow() |
Example:
Demonstrates how to use typed properties to access nodes of the document tree.// Quick typed access to the first child Section node of the Document. Section section = doc.getFirstSection(); // Quick typed access to the Body child node of the Section. Body body = section.getBody(); // Quick typed access to all Table child nodes contained in the Body.

public double getLeftIndent() / public void setLeftIndent(double value) |
Example:
Shows how to create a formatted table using DocumentBuilderDocument doc = new Document(); DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc); Table table = builder.startTable(); // Make the header row. builder.insertCell(); // Set the left indent for the table. Table wide formatting must be applied after // at least one row is present in the table. table.setLeftIndent(20.0); // Set height and define the height rule for the header row. builder.getRowFormat().setHeight(40.0); builder.getRowFormat().setHeightRule(HeightRule.AT_LEAST); // Some special features for the header row. builder.getCellFormat().getShading().setBackgroundPatternColor(new Color(198, 217, 241)); builder.getParagraphFormat().setAlignment(ParagraphAlignment.CENTER); builder.getFont().setSize(16); builder.getFont().setName("Arial"); builder.getFont().setBold (true); builder.getCellFormat().setWidth(100.0); builder.write("Header Row,\n Cell 1"); // We don't need to specify the width of this cell because it's inherited from the previous cell. builder.insertCell(); builder.write("Header Row,\n Cell 2"); builder.insertCell(); builder.getCellFormat().setWidth(200.0); builder.write("Header Row,\n Cell 3"); builder.endRow(); // Set features for the other rows and cells. builder.getCellFormat().getShading().setBackgroundPatternColor(Color.WHITE); builder.getCellFormat().setWidth(100.0); builder.getCellFormat().setVerticalAlignment(CellVerticalAlignment.CENTER); // Reset height and define a different height rule for table body builder.getRowFormat().setHeight(30.0); builder.getRowFormat().setHeightRule(HeightRule.AUTO); builder.insertCell(); // Reset font formatting. builder.getFont().setSize(12); builder.getFont().setBold(false); // Build the other cells. builder.write("Row 1, Cell 1 Content"); builder.insertCell(); builder.write("Row 1, Cell 2 Content"); builder.insertCell(); builder.getCellFormat().setWidth(200.0); builder.write("Row 1, Cell 3 Content"); builder.endRow(); builder.insertCell(); builder.getCellFormat().setWidth(100.0); builder.write("Row 2, Cell 1 Content"); builder.insertCell(); builder.write("Row 2, Cell 2 Content"); builder.insertCell(); builder.getCellFormat().setWidth(200.0); builder.write("Row 2, Cell 3 Content."); builder.endRow(); builder.endTable(); doc.save(getMyDir() + "DocumentBuilder.CreateFormattedTable Out.doc");

getNextSibling | → inherited from Node |
public Node getNextSibling() |
Example:
Shows how to enumerate immediate child nodes of a composite node using NextSibling. In this example we enumerate all paragraphs of a section body.// Get the section that we want to work on.

public int getNodeType() |
Example:
Shows how to retrieve the NodeType enumeration of nodes.Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Document.doc"); // Let's pick a node that we can't be quite sure of what type it is. // In this case lets pick the first node of the first paragraph in the body of the document Node node = doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph().getFirstChild(); System.out.println("NodeType of first child: " + Node.nodeTypeToString(node.getNodeType())); // This time let's pick a node that we know the type of.

getParentNode | → inherited from Node |
public CompositeNode getParentNode() |
If a node has just been created and not yet added to the tree, or if it has been removed from the tree, the parent is null.
Example:
Shows how to access the parent node.// Create a new empty document. It has one section. Document doc = new Document(); // The section is the first child node of the document. Node section = doc.getFirstChild(); // The section's parent node is the document. System.out.println("Section parent is the document: " + (doc == section.getParentNode()));
Example:
Shows that when you create any node, it requires a document that will own the node.// Open a file from disk. Document doc = new Document(); // Creating a new node of any type requires a document passed into the constructor. Paragraph para = new Paragraph(doc); // The new paragraph node does not yet have a parent. System.out.println("Paragraph has no parent node: " + (para.getParentNode() == null)); // But the paragraph node knows its document. System.out.println("Both nodes' documents are the same: " + (para.getDocument() == doc)); // The fact that a node always belongs to a document allows us to access and modify // properties that reference the document-wide data such as styles or lists. para.getParagraphFormat().setStyleName("Heading 1"); // Now add the paragraph to the main text of the first section. doc.getFirstSection().getBody().appendChild(para); // The paragraph node is now a child of the Body node. System.out.println("Paragraph has a parent node: " + (para.getParentNode() != null));

public Node getPreviousSibling() |
Example:
Demonstrates use of methods of Node and CompositeNode to remove a section before the last section in the document.// Document is a CompositeNode and LastChild returns the last child node in the Document node. // Since the Document can contain only Section nodes, the last child is the last section. Node lastSection = doc.getLastChild(); // Each node knows its next and previous sibling nodes. // Previous sibling of a section is a section before the specified section. // If the node is the first child, PreviousSibling will return null. Node sectionBeforeLast = lastSection.getPreviousSibling(); if (sectionBeforeLast != null) doc.removeChild(sectionBeforeLast);

Example:
Shows how to delete a section from a Word document.// Open Word document. Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Range.DeleteSection.doc"); // The document contains two sections. Each section has a paragraph of text. System.out.println(doc.getText()); // Delete the first section from the document. doc.getSections().get(0).getRange().delete(); // Check the first section was deleted by looking at the text of the whole document again.

Table firstTable = (Table)doc.getChild(NodeType.TABLE, 0, true); Table secondTable = (Table)doc.getChild(NodeType.TABLE, 1, true); // Append all rows from the current table to the next. // Due to the design of tables even tables with different cell count and widths can be joined into one table. while (secondTable.hasChildNodes()) firstTable.getRows().add(secondTable.getFirstRow()); // Remove the empty table container. secondTable.remove(); doc.save(getMyDir() + "Table.CombineTables Out.doc");
Example:
Shows how to iterate through all tables in the document and display the content from each cell.Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Table.Document.doc"); // Here we get all tables from the Document node. You can do this for any other composite node // which can contain block level nodes. For example you can retrieve tables from header or from a cell // containing another table (nested tables).

Method Detail |
---|
accept | |
public boolean accept(DocumentVisitor visitor) throws java.lang.Exception |
Enumerates over this node and all of its children. Each node calls a corresponding method on DocumentVisitor.
For more info see the Visitor design pattern.
visitor
- The visitor that will visit the nodes.Example:
Implements the Visitor Pattern to remove all content formatted as hidden from the document.public void removeHiddenContentFromDocument() throws Exception { // Open the document we want to remove hidden content from. Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Font.Hidden.doc"); // Create an object that inherits from the DocumentVisitor class. RemoveHiddenContentVisitor hiddenContentRemover = new RemoveHiddenContentVisitor(); // This is the well known Visitor pattern. Get the model to accept a visitor. // The model will iterate through itself by calling the corresponding methods // on the visitor object (this is called visiting). // We can run it over the entire the document like so: doc.accept(hiddenContentRemover); // Or we can run it on only a specific node.

appendChild | → inherited from CompositeNode |
public Node appendChild(Node newChild) |
If the newChild is already in the tree, it is first removed.
If the node being inserted was created from another document, you should use
newChild
- The node to add.Example:
Creates a simple document from scratch using the Aspose.Words object model.// Create an "empty" document. Note that like in Microsoft Word, // the empty document has one section, body and one paragraph in it. Document doc = new Document(); // This truly makes the document empty. No sections (not possible in Microsoft Word). doc.removeAllChildren(); // Create a new section node. // Note that the section has not yet been added to the document, // but we have to specify the parent document. Section section = new Section(doc); // Append the section to the document. doc.appendChild(section); // Lets set some properties for the section. section.getPageSetup().setSectionStart(SectionStart.NEW_PAGE); section.getPageSetup().setPaperSize(PaperSize.LETTER); // The section that we created is empty, lets populate it. The section needs at least the Body node. Body body = new Body(doc); section.appendChild(body); // The body needs to have at least one paragraph. // Note that the paragraph has not yet been added to the document, // but we have to specify the parent document. // The parent document is needed so the paragraph can correctly work // with styles and other document-wide information. Paragraph para = new Paragraph(doc); body.appendChild(para); // We can set some formatting for the paragraph para.getParagraphFormat().setStyleName("Heading 1"); para.getParagraphFormat().setAlignment(ParagraphAlignment.CENTER); // So far we have one empty paragraph in the document. // The document is valid and can be saved, but lets add some text before saving. // Create a new run of text and add it to our paragraph. Run run = new Run(doc); run.setText("Hello World!"); run.getFont().setColor(Color.RED); para.appendChild(run); // As a matter of interest, you can retrieve text of the whole document and // see that \x000c is automatically appended. \x000c is the end of section character. System.out.println(doc.getText()); // Save the document. doc.save(getMyDir() + "Section.CreateFromScratch Out.doc");
autoFit | |
public void autoFit(int behavior) throws java.lang.Exception |
This method mimics the commands available in the Auto Fit menu for a table in Microsoft Word. The commands available are "Auto Fit to Contents", "Auto Fit to Window" and "Fixed Column Width". In Microsoft Word these commands set relevant table properties and then update the table layout and Aspose.Words does the same for you.
behavior
- A Example:
Shows how to build a new table with a table style applied.Document doc = new Document(); DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc); Table table = builder.startTable(); // We must insert at least one row first before setting any table formatting. builder.insertCell(); // Set the table style used based of the unique style identifier. // Note that not all table styles are available when saving as .doc format. table.setStyleIdentifier(StyleIdentifier.MEDIUM_SHADING_1_ACCENT_1); // Apply which features should be formatted by the style. table.setStyleOptions(TableStyleOptions.FIRST_COLUMN | TableStyleOptions.ROW_BANDS | TableStyleOptions.FIRST_ROW); table.autoFit(AutoFitBehavior.AUTO_FIT_TO_CONTENTS); // Continue with building the table as normal. builder.writeln("Item"); builder.getCellFormat().setRightPadding(40); builder.insertCell(); builder.writeln("Quantity (kg)"); builder.endRow(); builder.insertCell(); builder.writeln("Apples"); builder.insertCell(); builder.writeln("20"); builder.endRow(); builder.insertCell(); builder.writeln("Bananas"); builder.insertCell(); builder.writeln("40"); builder.endRow(); builder.insertCell(); builder.writeln("Carrots"); builder.insertCell(); builder.writeln("50"); builder.endRow(); doc.save(getMyDir() + "DocumentBuilder.SetTableStyle Out.docx");
Example:
Shows how to build a formatted table that contains 2 rows and 2 columns.Document doc = new Document(); DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc); Table table = builder.startTable(); // Insert a cell builder.insertCell(); // Use fixed column widths. table.autoFit(AutoFitBehavior.FIXED_COLUMN_WIDTHS); builder.getCellFormat().setVerticalAlignment(CellVerticalAlignment.CENTER); builder.write("This is row 1 cell 1"); // Insert a cell builder.insertCell(); builder.write("This is row 1 cell 2"); builder.endRow(); // Insert a cell builder.insertCell(); // Apply new row formatting builder.getRowFormat().setHeight(100); builder.getRowFormat().setHeightRule(HeightRule.EXACTLY); builder.getCellFormat().setOrientation(TextOrientation.UPWARD); builder.writeln("This is row 2 cell 1"); // Insert a cell builder.insertCell(); builder.getCellFormat().setOrientation(TextOrientation.DOWNWARD); builder.writeln("This is row 2 cell 2"); builder.endRow(); builder.endTable();
Example:
Autofits a table in the document to its contents.// Open the document Document doc = new Document(dataDir + "TestFile.doc"); Table table = (Table)doc.getChild(NodeType.TABLE, 0, true); // Auto fit the table to the cell contents table.autoFit(AutoFitBehavior.AUTO_FIT_TO_CONTENTS); // Save the document to disk. doc.save(dataDir + "TestFile.AutoFitToContents Out.doc");
Example:
Autofits a table to fit the page width.// Open the document Document doc = new Document(dataDir + "TestFile.doc"); Table table = (Table)doc.getChild(NodeType.TABLE, 0, true); // Autofit the first table to the page width. table.autoFit(AutoFitBehavior.AUTO_FIT_TO_WINDOW); // Save the document to disk. doc.save(dataDir + "TestFile.AutoFitToWindow Out.doc");
Example:
Disables autofitting and enables fixed widths for the specified table.// Open the document Document doc = new Document(dataDir + "TestFile.doc"); Table table = (Table)doc.getChild(NodeType.TABLE, 0, true); // Disable autofitting on this table. table.autoFit(AutoFitBehavior.FIXED_COLUMN_WIDTHS); // Save the document to disk. doc.save(dataDir + "TestFile.FixedWidth Out.doc");

Shows how to apply a outline border to a table.Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Table.EmptyTable.doc"); Table table = (Table)doc.getChild(NodeType.TABLE, 0, true); // Align the table to the center of the page. table.setAlignment(TableAlignment.CENTER); // Clear any existing borders from the table. table.clearBorders(); // Set a green border around the table but not inside. table.setBorder(BorderType.LEFT, LineStyle.SINGLE, 1.5, Color.GREEN, true); table.setBorder(BorderType.RIGHT, LineStyle.SINGLE, 1.5, Color.GREEN, true); table.setBorder(BorderType.TOP, LineStyle.SINGLE, 1.5, Color.GREEN, true); table.setBorder(BorderType.BOTTOM, LineStyle.SINGLE, 1.5, Color.GREEN, true); // Fill the cells with a light green solid color. table.setShading(TextureIndex.TEXTURE_SOLID, Color.GREEN, Color.GREEN); doc.save(getMyDir() + "Table.SetOutlineBorders Out.doc");
Example:
Shows how to remove all borders from a table.Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Table.Document.doc"); // Remove all borders from the first table in the document.

deepClone | → inherited from Node |
public Node deepClone(boolean isCloneChildren) throws java.lang.Exception |
This method serves as a copy constructor for nodes. The cloned node has no parent, but belongs to the same document as the original node.
This method always performs a deep copy of the node. The isCloneChildren parameter specifies whether to perform copy all child nodes as well.
isCloneChildren
- True to recursively clone the subtree under the specified node;
false to clone only the node itself.Example:
Shows how to clone nodes with and without their child nodes.// Create a new empty document. Document doc = new Document(); // Add some text to the first paragraph Paragraph para = doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph(); para.appendChild(new Run(doc, "Some text")); // Clone the paragraph and the child nodes. Node cloneWithChildren = para.deepClone(true); // Only clone the paragraph and no child nodes. Node cloneWithoutChildren = para.deepClone(false);

Section section = doc.getSections().get(0); Body body = section.getBody(); // Select the first child node in the body. Node curNode = body.getFirstChild(); while (curNode != null) { // Save the pointer to the next sibling node because if the current // node is removed from the parent in the next step, we will have // no way of finding the next node to continue the loop.
