使用Open XML在C＃中设置Word文档的页边距

Question

I have created a Word document using Open Xml. The document gets created when a button in a web part is created. Currently I have created a table in the document to test that it works. What I want to do now is to be able to set the page margins for the newly created documnet.

I am not sure how to proceed. What would be the simplest way to achieve this?

(below is the current code I have that creates the word document with a table inside)

void GenerateBadges_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //Creating a word document using the the Open XML SDK 2.0
    WordprocessingDocument document = WordprocessingDocument.Create(@"C:\Users\Daniel.Perez
    \Documents\sample-badges.docx", WordprocessingDocumentType.Document);

    //create a paragraph
    MainDocumentPart mainDocumenPart = document.AddMainDocumentPart();
    mainDocumenPart.Document = new Document();
    Body documentBody = new Body();
    mainDocumenPart.Document.Append(documentBody);

    //adding a table to the document
    Table table = new Table();
    TableProperties tblProps = new TableProperties();
    TableBorders tblBorders = new TableBorders();

    tblBorders.TopBorder = new TopBorder();
    tblBorders.TopBorder.Val = new EnumValue<BorderValues>(BorderValues.Single);

    tblBorders.BottomBorder = new BottomBorder();
    tblBorders.BottomBorder.Val = new EnumValue<BorderValues>(BorderValues.Single);

    tblBorders.RightBorder = new RightBorder();
    tblBorders.RightBorder.Val = new EnumValue<BorderValues>(BorderValues.Single);

    tblBorders.LeftBorder = new LeftBorder();
    tblBorders.LeftBorder.Val = new EnumValue<BorderValues>(BorderValues.Single);

    tblBorders.InsideHorizontalBorder = new InsideHorizontalBorder();
    tblBorders.InsideHorizontalBorder.Val = BorderValues.Single;

    tblBorders.InsideVerticalBorder = new InsideVerticalBorder();
    tblBorders.InsideVerticalBorder.Val = BorderValues.Single;

    tblProps.Append(tblBorders);
    table.Append(tblProps);

    TableRow row;
    TableCell cell;

    //first table row
    row = new TableRow();
    cell = new TableCell(new Paragraph(new Run(new Text("Table to hold the badges"))));

    TableCellProperties cellProp = new TableCellProperties();
    GridSpan gridSpan = new GridSpan();
    gridSpan.Val = 11;

    cellProp.Append(gridSpan);
    cell.Append(cellProp);
    row.Append(cell);
    table.Append(row);

    //second row
    row = new TableRow();
    cell = new TableCell();
    cell.Append(new Paragraph(new Run(new Text("Inner Table"))));
    row.Append(cell);

    for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
    {
        row.Append(new TableCell(new Paragraph (new Run(new Text(i.ToString())))));
    }

    table.Append(row);
    for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
    {
        row = new TableRow();
        row.Append(new TableCell(new Paragraph(new Run(new Text(i.ToString())))));

        for (int j = 1; j <= 10; j++)
        {
            row.Append(new TableCell(new Paragraph(new Run(new Text((i * j).ToString())))));
        }
        table.Append(row);
    }


    //add the table to the document - table needs to be wired into the for each loop above
    documentBody.Append(table);

    //Saving/Disposing of the created word Document
    document.MainDocumentPart.Document.Save();
    document.Dispose();
}

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Although the question is quite old and left unanswered, just to complete the thread and to help those who might land on this page later, I am posting the resolved code:

SectionProperties sectionProps = new SectionProperties();
PageMargin pageMargin = new PageMargin() { Top = 1008, Right = (UInt32Value)1008U, Bottom = 1008, Left = (UInt32Value)1008U, Header = (UInt32Value)720U, Footer = (UInt32Value)720U, Gutter = (UInt32Value)0U };
sectionProps.Append(pageMargin);
mainPart.Document.Body.Append(sectionProps);

Note: You may convert Open XML to C# code using "Open XML SDK 2.0 Productivity Tool". Just open any open XML format file (document/spreadsheet etc) in the tool and click "Reflect Code" toolbar button.
