{
CreateDocument();
}
//Create document method
private void CreateDocument()
{
try
{
//Create an instance for word app
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application winword = new Microsof
t.Office.Interop.Word.Application();
//Set animation status for word application
winword.ShowAnimation = false;
//Set status for word application is to be visible or not.
winword.Visible = false;
//Create a missing variable for missing value
object missing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
//Create a new document
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document document = winword.Docume
nts.Add(ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing);
//Add header into the document
foreach (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Section section in docume
nt.Sections)
{
//Get the header range and add the header details.
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Range headerRange = section.He
aders[Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdHeaderFooterIndex.wdHeaderFooterPrimary].R
ange;
headerRange.Fields.Add(headerRange, Microsoft.Office.Interop

.Word.WdFieldType.wdFieldPage);
headerRange.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = Microsoft.Office.Int
erop.Word.WdParagraphAlignment.wdAlignParagraphCenter;
headerRange.Font.ColorIndex = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.
WdColorIndex.wdBlue;
headerRange.Font.Size = 10;
headerRange.Text = "Header text goes here";
}
//Add the footers into the document
foreach (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Section wordSection in do
cument.Sections)
{
//Get the footer range and add the footer details.
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Range footerRange = wordSectio
n.Footers[Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdHeaderFooterIndex.wdHeaderFooterPrimar
y].Range;
footerRange.Font.ColorIndex = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.
WdColorIndex.wdDarkRed;
footerRange.Font.Size =10;
footerRange.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = Microsoft.Office.Int
erop.Word.WdParagraphAlignment.wdAlignParagraphCenter;
footerRange.Text = "Footer text goes here";
}
//adding text to document
document.Content.SetRange(0, 0);
document.Content.Text = "This is test document "+ Environment.Ne
wLine;
//Add paragraph with Heading 1 style
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Paragraph para1 = document.Content
.Paragraphs.Add(ref missing);
object styleHeading1 = "Heading 1";
para1.Range.set_Style(ref styleHeading1);
para1.Range.Text = "Para 1 text";
para1.Range.InsertParagraphAfter();
//Add paragraph with Heading 2 style
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Paragraph para2 = document.Content
.Paragraphs.Add(ref missing);
object styleHeading2 = "Heading 2";
para2.Range.set_Style(ref styleHeading2);
para2.Range.Text = "Para 2 text";
para2.Range.InsertParagraphAfter();
//Create a 5X5 table and insert some dummy record
Table firstTable = document.Tables.Add(para1.Range, 5, 5, ref mi
ssing, ref missing);
firstTable.Borders.Enable = 1;
foreach (Row row in firstTable.Rows)
{
foreach (Cell cell in row.Cells)
{
//Header row
if (cell.RowIndex == 1)
{
cell.Range.Text = "Column " + cell.ColumnIndex.ToStr
ing();

cell.Range.Font.Bold = 1;
//other format properties goes here
cell.Range.Font.Name = "verdana";
cell.Range.Font.Size = 10;
//cell.Range.Font.ColorIndex = WdColorIndex.wdGray25
;
cell.Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = WdColor.wdColo
rGray25;
//Center alignment for the Header cells
cell.VerticalAlignment = WdCellVerticalAlignment.wdC
ellAlignVerticalCenter;
cell.Range.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = WdParagraphAl
ignment.wdAlignParagraphCenter;
}
//Data row
else
{
cell.Range.Text = (cell.RowIndex - 2 + cell.ColumnIn
dex).ToString();
}
}
}
//Save the document
object filename = @"c:\temp1.docx";
document.SaveAs2(ref filename);
document.Close(ref missing, ref missing, ref missing);
document = null;
winword.Quit(ref missing, ref missing, ref missing);
winword = null;
MessageBox.Show("Document created successfully !");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
}
