Text Box

[Alan Wang]

Hi all,

I am just wondering if I can programmatically insert text box into word
document.

Yes you can. I don't know the syntax offhand but I'm sure a google search
can turn it up. Or you can start recording a macro in Word, insert a text
box, close your macro and check the code to see how you can use it.

Hi Alan,

Instructions in C# for inserting adding three lines of text, putting
a textbox at the start of the second line (size specified in the AddTextBox
call),
adding some text to the box, and changing the layout to make the box inline
with the text are:

object opt = Type.Missing;
Word.Shape shape;
word.Selection.Text = "One\r\nTwo\r\nThree\r\n";
word.Selection.SetRange(5, 5);
object sel = word.Selection;
shape =
doc.Shapes.AddTextbox(Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTextOrientation.msoTextOrientationHorizontal,
5.0f, 10.0f, 250.0f, 100.0f, ref sel);
shape.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "Put this in the box";
shape.WrapFormat.Type = Word.WdWrapType.wdWrapInline;

I can send you the sample program if you like

Cheers
Bill

Bill:

I would like to see your code and also I would like to insert image inside
the text box. I am wondering if you have the sample code for that.

Thanks in advanced

Alan
