let table = Api.CreateTable(3, 3);
table.SetStyle(tableStyle);
let row = table.GetRow(0);
row.GetCell(0).GetContent().GetElement(0).AddText("text");
row.GetCell(1).GetContent().GetElement(0).AddText("text");
row.GetCell(2).GetContent().GetElement(0).AddText("text");
doc.Push(table);

let byKeyword = row.Search("tex", true);
byKeyword[1].SetBold(true);
