Tables

  1. Add SautinSoft.Document from Nuget.
  2. Create a document.
  3. Create a table.
  4. Save the document.

Tables are used to organize the contents of a document and to present information in rows and columns.


In this code example, we create a document with a table of 5 rows and 5 columns.
