Generate a table inside a word doc

Question

Hi All , 
 I want to generate a table inside a word doc. I am trying "MS Word 2007 Doc from Template" but unable to create a table. In other threads i see someone recommended "Advanced Document Templating" plugin. 
 Please can someone share a sample code for this.

I would recommend you to go try this plugin for easy table creation in word Advanced Document Templating PDF Or Using MS Word 2007 Doc from Template Smart Service you can create table but you have to use XML in appian expression which sometime cause issues.

I haven't learned the Advanced Document Templating plug-in, which might be better (or at least easier). Before it even existed (sometime in 2013), i invented a suite of expression functions that inject WordML elements into standard replacement fields in the standard "Word Doc from Template" smart service which can create arbitrary text formatting as well as arbitrary tables with any number of rows and columns (and any contents in the cells). 
 I shared an old export of this somewhere in an older comment, if you feel like digging. I don't have access to my normal laptop now so I don't have the export file handy, but it's possible. 
 Also, I would caveat that it doesn't work quite right if the Word file is then converted to PDF, probably because I used a stripped-down version of the WordML with only the elements necessary to get it working in a Word file.

gauravp915957 I&rsquo;ve created a sample to demonstrate how values can be generated into a Word document. This might be helpful for you. 
 1. Create a template with the ## #KEYCODE ### 
 
 2.Store it in the Appian document. 
 3. Configure in the process model like this 
 
 4. Final output

I just tried one approach, but you can try generating them dynamically.

You should be able to follow the breadcrumb trail from my previous comments to get to my comprehensive Appian 21.1 export of a working and fully-functional demo app for this functionality, FYI.
