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");

Sometimes in word files, we type another language rather than default, and need spellers and other proofing tools adjust to the language we typed.
This article is talking about how to alter language dictionary as non-default language via Spire.Doc. Here take English as default language and alter to Spanish in Peru as an example.
As for more language information, refer this Link to Microsoft Locale ID Values.
Here are the steps:
Step 1: Create a new word document.
Document document = new Document();
Step 2: Add new section and paragraph to the document.
Section sec = document.AddSection(); Paragraph para = sec.AddParagraph();
Step 3: Add a textRange for the paragraph and append some Peru Spanish words.
TextRange txtRange = para.AppendText("corrige según diccionario en inglés");
txtRange.CharacterFormat.LocaleIdASCII = 10250;
Step 4: Save and review.
document.SaveToFile("result.docx", FileFormat.Docx2013);
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("result.docx");
Here is the result screenshot.
Full Code:
using Spire.Doc.Documents;
using Spire.Doc.Fields;
namespace AlterLang
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Document document = new Document();
Section sec = document.AddSection();
Paragraph para = sec.AddParagraph();
TextRange txtRange = para.AppendText("corrige según diccionario en inglés");
txtRange.CharacterFormat.LocaleIdASCII = 10250;
document.SaveToFile("result.docx", FileFormat.Docx2013);
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("result.docx");

How to Mix Font Styles within a Single TextRange in C#, VB.NET
2015-05-12 05:10:51 Written by KoohjiTo emphasize some words or phrases in a sentence, most probably you will set different formats such as font type, color, and size to these parts. When we programmatically insert a sentence with various kinds of font styles into a PowerPoint slide, it is an easy task if we format the text at the first place and then append the text to a paragraph. In this article, we attach more importance to introduce how to mix font styles within a single TextRange on an existing PowerPoint slide.
Test File:
As is shown in test file, all words in this TextRange are in the same font style. Now we would like to make some changes.
Code Snippet:
Step 1: Create a new PowerPoint document and load the test file.
Presentation ppt = new Presentation("Sample.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2010);
Step 2: Get the shape from PowerPoint slide, get the text from shape and save to a new string variable.
IAutoShape shape = ppt.Slides[0].Shapes[0] as IAutoShape; string originalText = shape.TextFrame.Text;
Step 3: Split the string by specified words and return substrings to a string array.
string[] splitArray = originalText.Split(new string[] { "bold", "red","underlined","bigger font size" }, StringSplitOptions.None);
Step 4: Remove the paragraph from TextRange.
TextParagraph tp = shape.TextFrame.TextRange.Paragraph; tp.TextRanges.Clear();
Step 5: Append normal text that is in front of ‘bold’ to the paragraph.
TextRange tr = new TextRange(splitArray[0]); tp.TextRanges.Append(tr);
Step 6: Set font style of the text ‘bold’ as bold, and append it to the paragraph.
tr = new TextRange("bold");
tr.IsBold = TriState.True;
tp.TextRanges.Append(tr);
Step 7: Repeat step 5 and step 6 to append the rest normal texts and formatted texts to the paragraph.
//normal text
tr = new TextRange(splitArray[1]);
tp.TextRanges.Append(tr);
//red text
tr = new TextRange("red");
tr.Fill.FillType = Spire.Presentation.Drawing.FillFormatType.Solid;
tr.Format.Fill.SolidColor.Color = Color.Red;
tp.TextRanges.Append(tr);
//normal text
tr = new TextRange(splitArray[2]);
tp.TextRanges.Append(tr);
//underline text
tr = new TextRange("underlined");
tr.TextUnderlineType = TextUnderlineType.Single;
tp.TextRanges.Append(tr);
//normal text
tr = new TextRange(splitArray[3]);
tp.TextRanges.Append(tr);
//bigger size text
tr = new TextRange("bigger font size");
tr.FontHeight = 35;
tp.TextRanges.Append(tr);
//normal text
tr = new TextRange(splitArray[4]);
tp.TextRanges.Append(tr);
Step 8: Save the file.
ppt.SaveToFile("Result.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2010);
Output:
Full Code:
using Spire.Presentation;
using System;
using System.Drawing;
namespace MixFontStyle

class Program

{
Presentation ppt = new Presentation("Sample.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2010);

string originalText = shape.TextFrame.Text;
string[] splitArray = originalText.Split(new string[] { "bold", "red", "underlined", "bigger font size" }, StringSplitOptions.None);
TextParagraph tp = shape.TextFrame.TextRange.Paragraph;
tp.TextRanges.Clear();
//normal text
TextRange tr = new TextRange(splitArray[0]);
tp.TextRanges.Append(tr);
//bold text
tr = new TextRange("bold");
tr.IsBold = TriState.True;
tp.TextRanges.Append(tr);
//normal text
tr = new TextRange(splitArray[1]);
tp.TextRanges.Append(tr);
//red text
tr = new TextRange("red");
tr.Fill.FillType = Spire.Presentation.Drawing.FillFormatType.Solid;
tr.Format.Fill.SolidColor.Color = Color.Red;
tp.TextRanges.Append(tr);
//normal text
tr = new TextRange(splitArray[2]);
tp.TextRanges.Append(tr);
//underline text
tr = new TextRange("underlined");
tr.TextUnderlineType = TextUnderlineType.Single;
tp.TextRanges.Append(tr);
//normal text
tr = new TextRange(splitArray[3]);
tp.TextRanges.Append(tr);
//bigger size text
tr = new TextRange("bigger font size");
tr.FontHeight = 35;
tp.TextRanges.Append(tr);
//normal text
tr = new TextRange(splitArray[4]);
tp.TextRanges.Append(tr);
ppt.SaveToFile("Result.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2010);
