I am attempting to use the WordDocumentWriter from the Infragistics.Documents.Word namespace to create a formatted word document.
I'm not sure if I'm missing something but cannot seem to find how to add a bulleted list to the document. Is this actually possible using Infragistics WinForms v13.2?
There is currently no support for bulletted lists. Please feel free to Submit a Feature Request to Infragistics.
Hi Mike,
Thanks for your reply. I was really hoping you weren't going to say that though!
Currently I am working on a project that requires me to create a word document which pretty much entirely consists of long bulletted lists! Is there anyway I could extend the WordDocumentWriter myself? I will definitely submit a feature request but my client requires this project to be completed very soon and I am now quite invested in using the Infragistics Word export.
I had assumed that creating a bulletted list would be simple but perhaps not?
Hi David,
Our initial Word engine implementation focused on the most common features of Word and things we needed for our Reporting product. So lists were not a priority on our first pass.
We may add them in the future, but it wouldn't be until 14.2 at the very earliest. And I can't promise you that. So far, you're the first person to ask for it - surprisingly.
My best advice right now would be for you to use Word interop. Which I'm sure is not ideal, but it's the only thing I can think of.
Please add bulleted lists support to WordDocumentWriter. We need it along with a diagonal text watermark, table of contents and horizontal divider line.
If you need bulletted lists in the WordEngine then please vote for the feature request I have submitted here:

Still really hoping this gets in!
