I am working with word and c# . taking the snap shot with my code and saving it in a particular folder (ex.C:\Temp). now i want to save the image to an existing word document.any kind of help with short code sample is highly appreciated .
Will prefer to use Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;
Of course, the Word object model provides the required methods for inserting an image into the document. To add a picture at the cursor location you just need to call the AddPicture method of the InlineShapes collection and pass in the name of the file.
Application.Selection.InlineShapes.AddPicture(#"C:\SamplePicture.jpg");
See How to: Programmatically Add Pictures and Word Art to Documents for more information.
Also you may consider using the Open XML SDK. Take a look at the following articles in MSDN:
How to: Insert a picture into a word processing document (Open XML SDK)

I have a C# Web API and I am using Microsoft.Office.Interop to dynamically create a Word document. I have an image that I wish to add to said document. This image is stored within the project itself and not on a drive somewhere.When I add the image to the document I'm met with an error with states "This is not a valid file name". The file is definitely in the folder. Is there a special way to get C# to see the folder? I know in Javascript you would simply put ".\Images\Watermark.png". Is C# capable of handling something like that?
I ended up creating a Mail Merge document instead of trying to create the document via C#.
I want to use "OLE automation" (or whatever it's called now) to generate a Word document.
I assume that it's possible to perform the following programmatically:
Set page size (height, width, margin vals)
Set font type/name, style, and size
Add page numbering
Add pages
Insert page breaks
What I'm not sure of is if I need to have MS Word on my system to do this (to have the necessary DLLs, perhaps)? I use Open Office (I like it, and it's free), but I reckon controlling the creation of docs programmatically is probably easier/better documented for MS Word than it is for Open Office and/or Libre Office - that's why I'm strongly considering making this "rendezvous with Redmond."
This question is tangentially related to this one
If Google Docs is a possibility here, I'd be willing to have a "meeting with Mountain View" but I know nothing about that file format or whether it can be "automated" etc.
I need to end up with something that I can either convert to a PDF file or a DOCX file. Open Office can open DOCX and convert files to PDF, but I don't know about Google Docs.
I've found https://docx.codeplex.com/ to be very useful in dynamically building docx documents.
Yes,
it is possible. Check this link: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30425
this is a library for open xml documents (*.docx, *.xlsx and powerpoint files)
yes you can Use Openxml , also with openXml you can create Excel Pdf and ...
Check This out
You can use this library to generate document by template:

'DocumentGenerator' can generate one leaflet, multiple leaflets in one document or registers.
I am using CKeditor to get some data from user and i d like to save whatever user types on this very html editor to Word Document without losing the look and feel.
I have done lot of searching but wansnt able to find any resources actually.
Some of which are :
How can a Word document be created in C#?
Problem writing HTML content to Word document in ASP.NET
so on.
Not sure why there is no clear direction on this.
Any pointers? libraries you can recommend?
You can use Open XML sdk to create word documents programatically without installing word on the server. And you can convert simple html to word document using Html to Openxml. Alternatively you can insert the html file into word document as an alt chunk without losing the formatting (unless you using external css). An example code for it here and this one.
Am evaluating the Aspose.words for one of my client, almost all of the feature i have migrated from MS Word library to Aspose.word library. Just one more to go, but am struggling to find the solution for the below:
We have Template document which is in .docx format. Template has a Two column page layout. at run time system would copy paste the content from other document to this Template document. still this steps works fine.
When i open the template page it looks good with 2 column layout.
But we have some logic that should read the last line of First Column & checks whether the text is in specific format, if it is then moves one line down which would automaticaly moves to the next column.
This logic is easily acheivable in Word but i couldn't find any refference in Aspose.words to implement this.
Also i tried to find different option by convering the document to Xml. & found that there is one node called . but this node is visble only when i save the document as xml From Microsoft word. Not occurs if i save the document as xml from Aspose.words.
Please advice me to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance

we just have finished integrating a feature into Aspose.Words to open up access to the rendering engine so that each element of the rendered document can be read as it appears as pages, columns, lines, spans etc. This functionality is exactly what you need and will be available in the next version of Aspose.Words which is expected to release in about a week's time. Soon I will be sharing the code snippet to accomplish your requirement.
My name is Nayyer and I am developer evangelist at Aspose.
what I need to achieve is to have a word document template(docx), which will contain Title, Author name, Date, etc.
This template then will be used by users to complete it. I need to create a c# program, that will take in the docx file and read all the information of interest(title, name, date, ..).
So my questions are:
How do I put the metadata into the template saying: this is Title, this is Date, this is Name, etc? (not programatically)
How do I programmatically read that information?
One way to approach this would be to use Content Controls. In Office, you can create your template, and then for each of your respective inputs of interest you can place one of these controls. They're under the Developer tab in Office.
After inserting your controls you'll need for each of them to have a unique name. Office will let them all have the same name, but you'll need to uniquely identify all of them in your template document.
You now need to get the data that's input in to these controls. Again, there's likely to be some better solutions but Eric White has all kinds of great OpenXML stuff, and so here's one of his: Iterating over Content Controls
I think there's problems with finding content controls nested within a table. So, if you do that, then I think you have to specifically loop over the elements of the table to find content controls within.
Also, you're probably going to want to save a .docx from your .doct file, which I don't think there's any built-in "one-liner" method in OpenXML; however, you can create a new Word document, and then write the file stream of the template in to the newly created docx file. Again, of course, there may be better solutions out there.
Have you been here? There's lots of good stuff:
Introduction to OpenXML
Additionally, Eric has been releasing more and more videos on the OpenXML YouTube channel
1) how do I put the metadata into the template saying: this is Title,
this is Date, this is Name, etc? (not programatically)
You could do that on Info tab in MS Word 2010 as shown below:
2) how do I programmatically read that information?
Once you created your document (or template) you could always look inside it with Open XML SDK 2.0 Productivity Tool (wich is installed with OpenXML SDK) to see where (what classes to use) to get/set some information from/to document.
Also I think this post might help you to solve your task:

UPDATE:
Hi Dave,
Please have a look at this MSDN Article - Retrieving Application Properties from Word 2010 Documents by Using the Open XML SDK 2.0
Hope this is exactly what you are looking for.
All OpenXML documents have built in core Metadata that will do what you need through System.IO.Packaging. Once you open the word file using the open xml sdk in c#, you can get to these values via the PackageProperties class. There are 11 Properties you can use.
You "encourage" your user to enter the metadata using Word's Document Information Panel (DIP).
You can force this on by default when they open your template, by a setting in the Developer Toolbar for the template. See the following article on how to set this in your template.
I wrote a quick Windows Form app that displays this information using open xml sdk call to the PackageProperties of the Word file that is displayed above.
Here is the full solution with the sample word file included.
Hope this helps.
