C# Control MS Word

Submit Blog | Blogs Home |

Through C#, we can realize most of feature functions out of Microsoft Word. We can create a new MS Word document, open Word document, add a new table into Word document and even set up table cell properties at will. C# can help you do these jobs without the necessary to install Microsoft Word on your PC.

Import COM Library: Microsoft word 11.0 Object Library.

Create New Word Document

object oMissing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
Word._Application oWord;
Word._Document oDoc;
oWord = new Word.Application();
oWord.Visible = true;
oDoc = oWord.Documents.Add(ref oMissing, ref oMissing,
ref oMissing, ref oMissing);

Open Word Document

object oMissing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
Word._Application oWord;
Word._Document oDoc;
oWord = new Word.Application();
oWord.Visible = true;
object fileName = @"E:\CCCXCXX\TestDoc.doc";
oDoc = oWord.Documents.Open(ref fileName,
ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing,
ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing,
ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);

Import Sample

object oMissing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
Word._Application oWord;
Word._Document oDoc;
oWord = new Word.Application();
oWord.Visible = true;
object fileName = @"E:\XXXCCX\Test.doc";
oDoc = oWord.Documents.Add(ref fileName, ref oMissing,
ref oMissing, ref oMissing);

Add New Table

object oMissing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
Word._Application oWord;
Word._Document oDoc;
oWord = new Word.Application();
oWord.Visible = true;
oDoc = oWord.Documents.Add(ref oMissing, ref oMissing,
ref oMissing, ref oMissing);

object start = 0;
object end = 0;
Word.Range tableLocation = oDoc.Range(ref start, ref end);
oDoc.Tables.Add(tableLocation, 3, 4, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);

Add New Row/Column

object oMissing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
Word._Application oWord;
Word._Document oDoc;
oWord = new Word.Application();
oWord.Visible = true;
oDoc = oWord.Documents.Add(ref oMissing, ref oMissing,
ref oMissing, ref oMissing);

object start = 0;
object end = 0;
Word.Range tableLocation = oDoc.Range(ref start, ref end);
oDoc.Tables.Add(tableLocation, 3, 4, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);

Word.Table newTable = oDoc.Tables[1];
object beforeRow = newTable.Rows[1];
newTable.Rows.Add(ref beforeRow);

Merge Cells

object oMissing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
Word._Application oWord;
Word._Document oDoc;
oWord = new Word.Application();
oWord.Visible = true;
oDoc = oWord.Documents.Add(ref oMissing, ref oMissing,
ref oMissing, ref oMissing);

object start = 0;
object end = 0;
Word.Range tableLocation = oDoc.Range(ref start, ref end);
oDoc.Tables.Add(tableLocation, 3, 4, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);

Word.Table newTable = oDoc.Tables[1];
object beforeRow = newTable.Rows[1];
newTable.Rows.Add(ref beforeRow);

Word.Cell cell = newTable.Cell(1, 1);
cell.Merge(newTable.Cell(1, 2));

Clip Cell

object oMissing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
Word._Application oWord;
Word._Document oDoc;
oWord = new Word.Application();
oWord.Visible = true;
oDoc = oWord.Documents.Add(
