Create Empty Word Document

IronWord: Creating Word and DOCX Documents Made Simple

IronWord makes creating a new Word and DOCX document very simple. Simply instantiate a new WordDocument object. Additionally, any document structure object, such as a paragraph, table, and section, can be used to instantiate a new Word document. Finally, use the SaveAs method to export the document.

Here is a sample code that demonstrates how this can be achieved in C#:

// Import necessary namespaces
using IronWord;

// Instantiate a new WordDocument object
WordDocument document = new WordDocument();

// Create a new section in the document
DocumentSection section = document.AddSection();

// Add a new paragraph to the section
DocumentParagraph paragraph = section.AddParagraph();
paragraph.AppendText("Hello, World! This is a new paragraph in our Word document.");

// Add a table to the document
DocumentTable table = section.AddTable(3, 3); // 3x3 table
for (int row = 0; row < 3; row++)
{
    for (int col = 0; col < 3; col++)
    {
        // Write some text into table cells
        table.Rows[row].Cells[col].AddParagraph().AppendText($"Cell {row+1}-{col+1}");
    }
}

// Save the document to a file
document.SaveAs("NewDocument.docx");

// Import necessary namespaces
using IronWord;

// Instantiate a new WordDocument object
WordDocument document = new WordDocument();

// Create a new section in the document
DocumentSection section = document.AddSection();

// Add a new paragraph to the section
DocumentParagraph paragraph = section.AddParagraph();
paragraph.AppendText("Hello, World! This is a new paragraph in our Word document.");

// Add a table to the document
DocumentTable table = section.AddTable(3, 3); // 3x3 table
for (int row = 0; row < 3; row++)
{
    for (int col = 0; col < 3; col++)
    {
        // Write some text into table cells
        table.Rows[row].Cells[col].AddParagraph().AppendText($"Cell {row+1}-{col+1}");
    }
}

// Save the document to a file
document.SaveAs("NewDocument.docx");

' Import necessary namespaces
Imports IronWord

' Instantiate a new WordDocument object
Private document As New WordDocument()

' Create a new section in the document
Private section As DocumentSection = document.AddSection()

' Add a new paragraph to the section
Private paragraph As DocumentParagraph = section.AddParagraph()
paragraph.AppendText("Hello, World! This is a new paragraph in our Word document.")

' Add a table to the document
Dim table As DocumentTable = section.AddTable(3, 3) ' 3x3 table
For row As Integer = 0 To 2
	For col As Integer = 0 To 2
		' Write some text into table cells
		table.Rows(row).Cells(col).AddParagraph().AppendText($"Cell {row+1}-{col+1}")
	Next col
Next row

' Save the document to a file
document.SaveAs("NewDocument.docx")

Explanation:

1. Namespace Import: The code begins by importing the necessary namespaces required to use the IronWord library.
2. Document Creation: A new WordDocument object is instantiated. This object will serve as the starting point for the creation of our Word document.
3. Section Addition: A new section is added to the document using the AddSection method. Sections are used to divide the document into separate parts that can have different formatting.
4. Paragraph Addition: Within the newly added section, a paragraph is created using the AddParagraph method of the DocumentSection class. The paragraph object is then used to append text to the section.
5. Table Creation: A 3x3 table is added to the section using the AddTable method. The table is populated with text in each cell using nested loops to iterate through the rows and columns.
6. Document Saving: Finally, the document is saved to a .docx file using the SaveAs method, which takes the desired file name as an argument.
