To emphasize and beautify a set of characters or sentence, applying a border around the characters or sentence is a good option. Spire.Doc enables developers to achieve this feature in C#. And there are plenty of built-in border styles available, such as: Wave, Hairline, DotDash, DashSmallGap, DashLargeGap, DoubleWave, DashDotStroker, Emboss3D, Engrave3D, TwistedLines1 and so on. The following codes show how to achieve character border with some border styles mentioned above:
Note: Before start, please make sure that Visual Studio and Spire.Doc have been installed properly. We will use Spire.Doc .dll as reference.
Step 1: Load word document
Document doc = new Document(); Section section = doc.AddSection();
Step 2: Add the characters needed to apply a border and set the border style
//DashSmallGap Border Paragraph para = section.AddParagraph(); para.Format.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left; TextRange tr = para.AppendText("Spire.Doc for .Net"); tr.CharacterFormat.Border.BorderType = Spire.Doc.Documents.BorderStyle.DashSmallGap; tr.CharacterFormat.Border.Color = Color.Green; tr.CharacterFormat.FontSize = 24; tr.CharacterFormat.TextColor = Color.DarkKhaki; para.AppendBreak(BreakType.LineBreak); //Wave Border para = section.AddParagraph(); para.Format.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left; tr = para.AppendText("Spire.PDF for .Net"); tr.CharacterFormat.Border.BorderType = Spire.Doc.Documents.BorderStyle.Wave; tr.CharacterFormat.Border.Color = Color.Aqua; tr.CharacterFormat.FontSize = 24; tr.CharacterFormat.TextColor = Color.BurlyWood; para.AppendBreak(BreakType.LineBreak); //Emboss3D Border para = section.AddParagraph(); para.Format.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left; tr = para.AppendText("Spire.XLS for .Net"); tr.CharacterFormat.Border.BorderType = Spire.Doc.Documents.BorderStyle.Emboss3D; tr.CharacterFormat.FontSize = 24; para.AppendBreak(BreakType.LineBreak); //DashDotStroker Border para = section.AddParagraph(); para.Format.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left; tr = para.AppendText("Spire.Office for .Net"); tr.CharacterFormat.Border.BorderType = Spire.Doc.Documents.BorderStyle.DashDotStroker; tr.CharacterFormat.Border.Color = Color.Olive; tr.CharacterFormat.FontSize = 24; tr.CharacterFormat.TextColor = Color.Olive; para.AppendBreak(BreakType.LineBreak); //DoubleWave Border para = section.AddParagraph(); para.Format.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left; tr = para.AppendText("Spire.Presentation for .Net"); tr.CharacterFormat.Border.BorderType = Spire.Doc.Documents.BorderStyle.DoubleWave; tr.CharacterFormat.Border.Color = Color.Blue; tr.CharacterFormat.FontSize = 24; tr.CharacterFormat.TextColor = Color.Blue; para.AppendBreak(BreakType.LineBreak);
Step 3: Save and launch word document
doc.SaveToFile("S1.docx", FileFormat.Docx); System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("S1.docx");
