This example demonstrates how to use the Word Processing Document API to programmatically manage rich edit documents, without the need for Microsoft Word to be installed.
The application includes the RichEditControl used to display and edit the code. The code modifies the rich document created or loaded by the RichEditDocumentServer instance. To see the results, open the document in Microsoft Word by clicking the button.
You can modify the code and watch the result. If an error occurs during compilation or execution, the backcolor of the code window changes.
This sample introduces API properties and methods used to perform the following operations:
- Create, load, save and print documents;- Insert text to the document range or paragraph;
- Change paragraph or character formatting;
- Create and apply new character, paragraph or linked style;
- Create bulleted or numbered lists;
- Insert and resize inline pictures;
- Insert and modify floating pictures or text boxes;
- Create, fill, colorize tables, merge or split table cells;
- Change document page layout - create columns, add line numbering, change page layout settings;
- Insert bookmarks or hyperlinks;
- Create, edit and delete comments;
- Set document properties;
- Modify page headers;
- Insert and modify fields.
