Create a Word document from scratch in C#

Learn how to programmatically create Word documents from scratch in C# using the Syncfusion .NET Word Library. This guide demonstrates document creation with text formatting, images, tables, and custom styles.

Step 1: Create a new project

Start by creating a new C# Console Application project.

Step 2: Install the NuGet package

Add the Syncfusion.DocIO.Net.Core package to your project from NuGet.org.

Step 3: Add required namespaces to create Word document

Add the following namespaces to your Program.cs file:

using System.IO;
using Syncfusion.DocIO;
using Syncfusion.DocIO.DLS;

Step 4: Create a Word document and add section

Create a new Word document, add a section, and apply a page setup to that section.

// Creating a new document
    WordDocument document = new WordDocument();
    //Adding a new section to the document
    WSection section = document.AddSection() as WSection;
    //Set margin of the section
    section.PageSetup.Margins.All = 72;
    //Set page size of the section
    section.PageSetup.PageSize = new Syncfusion.Drawing.SizeF(612, 792);

Step 5: Add a paragraph style to the Word document

Add a paragraph style to the Word document that applies distinct paragraph and character formatting.

//Create paragraph styles
WParagraphStyle style = document.AddParagraphStyle("Normal") as WParagraphStyle;
style.CharacterFormat.FontName = "Calibri";
style.CharacterFormat.FontSize = 11f;
style.ParagraphFormat.BeforeSpacing = 0;
style.ParagraphFormat.AfterSpacing = 8;
style.ParagraphFormat.LineSpacing = 13.8f;

style = document.AddParagraphStyle("Heading 1") as WParagraphStyle;
style.ApplyBaseStyle("Normal");
style.CharacterFormat.FontName = "Calibri Light";
style.CharacterFormat.FontSize = 16f;
style.CharacterFormat.TextColor = Syncfusion.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(46, 116, 181);
style.ParagraphFormat.BeforeSpacing = 12;
style.ParagraphFormat.AfterSpacing = 0;
style.ParagraphFormat.Keep = true;
style.ParagraphFormat.KeepFollow = true;
style.ParagraphFormat.OutlineLevel = OutlineLevel.Level1;

Step 6: Insert header with image and title

Add a header to the document with an image and company title text with custom formatting and positioning.

IWParagraph paragraph = section.HeadersFooters.Header.AddParagraph();
// Get the image stream
FileStream imageStream = new FileStream(@Path.GetFullPath("Data/AdventureCycle.jpg"), FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
IWPicture picture = paragraph.AppendPicture(imageStream);
picture.TextWrappingStyle = TextWrappingStyle.InFrontOfText;
picture.VerticalOrigin = VerticalOrigin.Margin;
picture.VerticalPosition = -45;
picture.HorizontalOrigin = HorizontalOrigin.Column;
picture.HorizontalPosition = 263.5f;
picture.WidthScale = 20;
picture.HeightScale = 15;

paragraph.ApplyStyle("Normal");
paragraph.ParagraphFormat.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left;
WTextRange textRange = paragraph.AppendText("Adventure Works Cycles") as WTextRange;
textRange.CharacterFormat.FontSize = 12f;
textRange.CharacterFormat.FontName = "Calibri";
textRange.CharacterFormat.TextColor = Syncfusion.Drawing.Color.Red;

Step 7: Add paragraphs to the Word document

Add multiple paragraphs with heading and body text containing company information and a product overview.

//Append paragraph
paragraph = section.AddParagraph();
paragraph.ApplyStyle("Heading 1");
paragraph.ParagraphFormat.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center;
textRange = paragraph.AppendText("Adventure Works Cycles") as WTextRange;
textRange.CharacterFormat.FontSize = 18f;
textRange.CharacterFormat.FontName = "Calibri";

//Append paragraph
paragraph = section.AddParagraph();
paragraph.ParagraphFormat.FirstLineIndent = 36;
paragraph.BreakCharacterFormat.FontSize = 12f;
textRange = paragraph.AppendText("Adventure Works Cycles, the fictitious company on which the AdventureWorks sample databases are based, is a large, multinational manufacturing company. The company manufactures and sells metal and composite bicycles to North American, European and Asian commercial markets. While its base operation is in Bothell, Washington with 290 employees, several regional sales teams are located throughout their market base.") as WTextRange;
textRange.CharacterFormat.FontSize = 12f;

//Append paragraph
paragraph = section.AddParagraph();
paragraph.ParagraphFormat.FirstLineIndent = 36;
paragraph.BreakCharacterFormat.FontSize = 12f;
textRange = paragraph.AppendText("In 2000, AdventureWorks Cycles bought a small manufacturing plant, Importadores Neptuno, located in Mexico. Importadores Neptuno manufactures several critical subcomponents for the AdventureWorks Cycles product line. These subcomponents are shipped to the Bothell location for final product assembly. In 2001, Importadores Neptuno, became the sole manufacturer and distributor of the touring bicycle product group.") as WTextRange;
textRange.CharacterFormat.FontSize = 12f;

paragraph = section.AddParagraph();
paragraph.ApplyStyle("Heading 1");
paragraph.ParagraphFormat.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left;
textRange = paragraph.AppendText("Product Overview") as WTextRange;
textRange.CharacterFormat.FontSize = 16f;
textRange.CharacterFormat.FontName = "Calibri";

Step 8: Add a table with product details to the Word document

Create a table to display product information and details for various bicycle models.

//Append table
IWTable table = section.AddTable();
table.ResetCells(3, 2);
table.TableFormat.Borders.BorderType = BorderStyle.None;
table.TableFormat.IsAutoResized = true;
//Append paragraph
paragraph = table[0, 0].AddParagraph();
paragraph.ParagraphFormat.AfterSpacing = 0;
paragraph.BreakCharacterFormat.FontSize = 12f;
//Append picture to the paragraph
FileStream image1 = new FileStream(Path.GetFullPath(@"Data/Mountain-200.jpg"), FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
picture = paragraph.AppendPicture(image1);
picture.TextWrappingStyle = TextWrappingStyle.TopAndBottom;
picture.VerticalOrigin = VerticalOrigin.Paragraph;
picture.VerticalPosition = 4.5f;
picture.HorizontalOrigin = HorizontalOrigin.Column;
picture.HorizontalPosition = -2.15f;
picture.WidthScale = 79;
picture.HeightScale = 79;

paragraph.AppendText("Mountain-300 ");
//Append paragraph
paragraph = table[1, 0].AddParagraph();
paragraph.ParagraphFormat.AfterSpacing = 0;
paragraph.ParagraphFormat.LineSpacing = 12f;
