  When I make tables and put items in the cells, I always have line feeds chr(10) as the last character of text in the cell. This leaves a blank line after each row in the table.

  How can I remove the last character in a table cell?

  Attached is a word document with an example.

  Hi,

  You can delete the extra empty Paragraphs from each cell to achieve your requirement.

  GcWordDocument doc = new GcWordDocument();
  doc.Load("TableWithLineFeeds.DOCX");
  var table = doc.Body.Tables[0];
  for(int i=0; i <table.Rows.Count;i++)
  {
      var row = table.Rows[i];
      for(int j=0;j<row.Cells.Count;j++)
      {
          var cell = row.Cells[j];
          foreach(var par in cell.Children)
          {
              if (par is Paragraph)
                  if ((par as Paragraph).Children.Count() == 0)
                      par.Delete();
          }        
      }
  }
  doc.Save("TableWithoutLineFeeds.DOCX");

  Please refer the attached sample for the same: WordRemoveLineFeed.zip
  
  Best Regards,

  Thank you. The .children and children.count properties are what I was missing. This solution works and makes logical sense.
