A Glass case of Thoughts

Though I took quite a lot of time to figure it out; when I did – it actually seemed pretty simple !

Shape wrdTextBox = wrdDocument.Shapes.AddTextbox(
Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTextOrientation.msoTextOrientationHorizontal,
0, 2, 500, 30, ref objRange);

WHERE

wrdDocument
- Active word document object of type : Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document

objRange
- Range object in wrdDocument where I want this text box to be inserted of type : Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Range

In order to assign text and style to this text box:

wrdTextBox.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "I am sitting right inside a textbox in word";
wrdTextBox.TextFrame.TextRange.set_Style(ref my_style);

Important information

You need to add a COM reference to your favorite word object library which should in turn add

• Microsoft.Office.Core
• VBIDE
• Word
   

   

  If you do not see these added, make sure you have PIAs for office version installed on your machine.
