Aspose.Words...calculating width of text in pixels

I have an MVC3 C# .Net web app. I am using Aspose.Words to create an MS Word document. I have a requirement to not include tables in the document. However, on several lines of the document the alignment of the text is mis-aligned depending on the width of the text.
For example:

This looks good

Proposal Name: My Proposal         Date:04/24/2012

This does not

Proposal Name: My Prop         Date:04/24/2012

It should be

Proposal Name: My Prop             Date:04/24/2012

Based on the width of the first bit of text, I need to calculate the width in pixels (I think) and insert a TAB if necessary.

Any ideas how to do this?

Solution

  • you can use Graphics.MeasureString function which gives you the width of your string in pixels based on your font. for more info go Here
