using Spire.Doc.Fields;
namespace InsertTable
{
    class Program
    {

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {

            //Create a Document instance
            Document document = new Document();

            //Add a section
            Section section = document.AddSection();
            //Add a paragraph to the section
            Paragraph paragraph = section.AddParagraph();

            //Add textbox to the paragraph
            TextBox textbox = paragraph.AppendTextBox(300, 100);

            //Add text to textbox
            Paragraph textboxParagraph = textbox.Body.AddParagraph();
            TextRange textboxRange = textboxParagraph.AppendText("Table 1");
            textboxRange.CharacterFormat.FontName = "Arial";

            //Insert table to textbox
            Table table = textbox.Body.AddTable(true);
            //Specify the number of rows and columns of the table
            table.ResetCells(4, 4);

            string[,] data = new string[,]  
{  
{"Name","Age","Gender","ID" },  
{"John","28","Male","0023" },  
{"Steve","30","Male","0024" },  
{"Lucy","26","female","0025" }

            //Add data to table 
            for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
            {
                for (int j = 0; j < 4; j++)
                {
                    TextRange tableRange = table[i, j].AddParagraph().AppendText(data[i, j]);
                    tableRange.CharacterFormat.FontName = "Arial";
                }
            }

            //Apply style to table
            table.ApplyStyle(DefaultTableStyle.LightGridAccent3);
